The player enters the editor however they normally do (editing their description, or whatever). Instead of using the line-mode editor, they go to a static URL on the internal webserver (with authentication), enter their text on a form, and submit. > > (I'm not familiar with the details of this, haven't > > actively worked on the code for some time).

Hm, this system is server-driven with some caching - runs a -lot- faster than client-driven ftp on a slow connection, plus no explicit commands are needed on the client side (a local editor of the user's choice magically pops up at the right times - on exit, the string is automatically sent back). Using an applet was an attempt to make it available to our non-*ix-using players; a windows port is done now anyway. Actually, this whole system is aimed more at the admin staff, since they tend to be doing frequent editing. I can provide protocol details or make code available if there's interest. > > Considered NNTP? > > I hadn't... I have now.

NNTP can handle user authentication (and most newsreaders will let you configure who you authenticate as) -O </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00959" HREF="msg00959.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: mud websites</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Scatter <scatter#thevortex,com></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00959.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: mud websites</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00961.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: In game bulletin boards vs. Web based.</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00959.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: mud websites</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01161.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: mud websites</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00960"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00960"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: mud websites</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="01151" HREF="msg01151.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: mud websites</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Sat 20 Jun 1998, 02:13 GMT </LI> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00954" HREF="msg00954.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Mud websites</A></strong>, John Bertoglio <a href="mailto:alexb#internetcds,com">alexb#internetcds,com</a>, Thu 11 Jun 1998, 00:21 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00966" HREF="msg00966.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Mud websites</A></strong>, Adam Wiggins <a href="mailto:adam#angel,com">adam#angel,com</a>, Thu 11 Jun 1998, 17:23 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00959" HREF="msg00959.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: mud websites</A></strong>, Scatter <a href="mailto:scatter#thevortex,com">scatter#thevortex,com</a>, Thu 11 Jun 1998, 11:16 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00960" HREF="msg00960.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: mud websites</A></strong>, Oliver Jowett <a href="mailto:oliver#jowett,manawatu.planet.co.nz">oliver#jowett,manawatu.planet.co.nz</a>, Thu 11 Jun 1998, 13:55 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="01161" HREF="msg01161.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: mud websites</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Mon 22 Jun 1998, 22:16 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01175" HREF="msg01175.html">[MUD-Dev] WWW/INN/news systems (Was: Re: mud websites)</A></strong>, Petri Virkkula <a href="mailto:pvirkkul#cc,hut.fi">pvirkkul#cc,hut.fi</a>, Tue 23 Jun 1998, 06:58 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00992" HREF="msg00992.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Mud websites</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Fri 12 Jun 1998, 14:12 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="01166" HREF="msg01166.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Mud websites</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Mon 22 Jun 1998, 23:07 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
