texte = Christer: I love this list!! I obviously need to learn more about the command line but that's works a treat. Thanks. Donovan: I think this is as simple as your encrypt example: require 'digest/sha1' sha1 = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest('something secret') I have been using WebDNA exclusively for my projects for ten years now so I am well versed on the many benefits of WebDNA. The reality however is that it is not being actively developed and it is getting increasingly difficult to use it to interact with things like the many Web 2.0 APIs. If it wasn't for the ability to utilise OSX through the shell command then I would have been in trouble many times. The recent discussion on 'hacker safe' also scares the hell out of me as I realised that many of my sites are exposed to XSS attacks. Other languages such as Ruby and PHP have (probably through the bigger user base) been through these discussions and have developed libraries to help with data validation etc. We haven't really done that - at least not that I'm aware of. I am dreading having to switch to a new scripting language and database format but I figure that my future commercial viability as a developer depends on me doing that in the next year - unless something positive happens with WebDNA. - Tom ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
