[openupload-devel] A patch for a few things

[Austin <mes...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I'm looking at deploying this software at work, and have done some
preliminary development work to verify that we'd be able to use it.

I needed to write a new authentication backend to work with our
Siteminder single-sign-on stuff, and a patch to make sending the files
to clients not consume as much ram as the file is large.  I also added
a config option to allow the remote IP address to be gathered from a
different header than normal.  I'm attaching a patch for all three of
those things together.  I can split it up, if desired.

The other thing that I am wanting to deploy is the "invitation"
feature that someone was talking about on this list a few months ago.
I'm wondering if any progress has been made writing this?  If not, I'm
happy to start help tackling it.  I've taken a look at doing it
already, and have an idea of how I might go about implementing it, but
would like some guidance from someone who knows the codeabase (and
PHP) better than I.

My plan is to have our corporate users be able to upload files, anyone
be able to download files, and non-corporate people be able to upload
files by invitation.

Cheers,
Austin.
