for this to be really useful for all the paranoid ppl out there, you should really change the website to https. luckily for me, I'm not paranoid about this, but I thought it should be pointed out. --[[User:Suppy|Suppy]] 06:41, 27 January 2006 (CET)

https is concidered a possible performance issue and is therefore currently not supported by anidb. if I have too much time I might write something up which allows only the signup, login and profile pages to be transmitted via https and everything else via http. does anyone know if there is a good howto somewhere on how to best set this up? (i could always hardcode these limitations, but there should be a better way)
And the main reason for this feature is the usage of clients over untrusted connections. Which is possible once you configured your client password via a trusted connection.

Uh, very cute but... unless you've got exp to hand you the udp sources, he'll be the one who has to implement it, in which case this is just a set of feature requests, and we have a bug tracker for that. (But expect most of them to be put on his indefinite todo list or be refused outright.)

I have the source. I’ve taken over the development. --Epoximator 16:10, 27 Oct 2005 (CEST)

Mind writing a little something that I can post on the main page Epox? Webaom never quite got the publicity it deserved either really, wouldn't hurt to do a bit of a heads up on what can be done. --Rar 21:43, 27 Oct 2005 (CEST)
I have posted something in the forum now: http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2328&start=45. You can use that if you want. --Epoximator 13:58, 28 Oct 2005 (CEST)

Encodings

Protocol 2 says that the current character encoding is “unknown.” Shouldn't this be defined, preferably to some Unicode, like UTF-8? Considering AniDB maintains data in several languages, isn't having an agreed-upon encoding important? Derobert 01:35, 14 November 2005 (CET)

Encryption

"encryption pass must be set in profile settings on the website"

for this to be really useful for all the paranoid ppl out there, you should really change the website to https. luckily for me, I'm not paranoid about this, but I thought it should be pointed out. --Suppy 06:41, 27 January 2006 (CET)
