Some sort of "distributed checksumming" like your first example may be useful for myapp-1.0.0.dmg or jquery-1.4.4.js, but how would you handle upgrades?
- EGreg 16y agodistributed checksumming is what I am talking about upgrades should be done by putting the new version at a DIFFERENT url. As tim berners-lee says, cool uris don't change: http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoEGreg - if everyone will have to re-establish trust for each new release, what's the advantage?
- EGreg 16y agowhat is the advantage of magazines having to review every new version of software? httpc:// would be used for logins and distributing software. People already publish checksums, this would just be an automatic way of verifying every file that the server claims is constant.
