Re: [gbd-dev] globalsettings and usersettings

Hi!

Welcome back!

A few comments:
$gbdDebugServer = localhost; 
Should be
$gbdDebugServer = 'localhost'; 

The default for home directories on *ix:
   //$gbdUserDir = "/home/$user"
Shouldn't it be 
   //$gbdUserDir = "/home/$user/.gubed/"
(or simliar)?

And perhaps something similar on windows:
   //$gbdUserDir = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\$user\\Application 
Data\\Gubed\\"
(Not at a windows box right now, so I dont remember if thats the correct 
directory)

It seems reasonable to change the default server back to localhost like you 
say.

Well, isnt there a difference between allowing the user to specify an address 
(ie 192.168.10.19, which is somewhat safe) and allowing them to specify 
REMOTE_ADDR (which could be hijacked) ?

Also, didnt we agree on an option wether user might be specified on the 
request?

I guess since this is the initial draft you havent done anything yet about how 
the settings are loaded etc?

cheers
