Re: [Zinf-devel] WombatShare 3rd party Sharing possibility...

[Ciaran <jav...@wo...>]

Right ;) Finally WombatShare is going opensource  
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/wombatshare).  I've implemented basic 
HTTP Authentication so normal users's will have the ability to secure 
their nodes, now I can get around to stashing the code on sourceforge 
[finally]  (There's a weird stability issue that I'm trying to track 
down before I can release it)

Hopefully by being on sourceforge clever folks can find all the flaws in 
the software (of which there are likely to be a fair few) such as 
over-flow conditions.

I've tried to get the Zinf code compiling under VC6 with minimal luck 
would anyone be interested in helping me try to integrate WombatShare 
functionality into Zinf [now that its open-sourced?]
