    Hi,

    Is there a way to make BBBS render the (recommended) CHRS kludge, instead of CHARSET?

    I have wondered about that but I have no answer for your question.

    If you netmail Kim Heino at 2:222/2 or email b@bbbs.net he would have a better idea when or if that change can be made.

    I netmailed Kim and he replied fast! Next release will use CHRS.

    That is good news. I also netmailed Kim about this along with UTF-8 and CRAM-MD5 support. All are being added although some may take time to implement.

    I'll be watching the bbbs.net website for updates.. :)

    Yes, Toy-6 includes cram-md5 support and is working well for me. You could ask Kim about that.. :)

    I don't think so although that would be good to have today since most browsers don't support FTP anymore.

    If you don't know, it means that it's not yet implemented in Toy-6. We will wait until Toy-7.

    It would be better to make a feature request than to wait for Toy-7.

    We don't know what Toy-7 has in store, but if you ask for a feature it may get implimented.

    Since Janis is gone, you seem to be the liaison with Kim. :-D How do you think is better to raise to him the feature requests? Direct netmail? Direct email? This echo?

    I am NOT gone, Enric :) :)

    I did resign Fidonet for about two months because I was a bit burned out... but I returned as 1:261/38 as soon as I was able :)

    You should contact Kim via e-mail, at b@bbbs.net, he will probably respond to you via email.

    Oops! I thought it as I read about her bye-bye in the SysOps echomail areas a few months ago... However, it's good to read she is alive.

    Direct netmail?

    I think b@bbbs.net will work.

    I will try it.

    (a lot of minutes after)

    Three feature requests sent:

    - File download via HTTPS.
    - FTP to FTPS.
    - CRAM in BinkP.

    I know.. and I think things got confused when Dave Drum thought my system was down, but it was not - it was probably problems with my ISP... who knows.

    I don't have any special contact with Kim.

    That is the way I have always contacted Kim.

    Direct email?

    That should work too, but a direct netmail or email I think would be best to make sure he sees it in a timely way.

    Very good. He has resolved the CRAM feature request and he's testing the http download is his own node. I still don't know if I'll have to sell my soul to Kim in return. :-DDD
