hi Alexandre,<br>
<br>
Thanks for this work. Unfortunately I don't personally have the
time or the busy network to test it out, but if need be, we may take
a few nodes at île sans fil to test this stuff.<br>
<br>
As for protocol V2... it would have to be designed for today's
needs. The specs in the wiki are already quite old. <br>
<br>
One important thing is really to avoid the 1
request/connection/minute + 1 request/node/minute thing which puts a
lot of load on the server. 1 request/node/minute should be enough
to do all there is to do.<br>
Also, if this new protocol could find a way to bypass the Apple
auto-login thingy, it would be great!<br>
Also, no extra libraries should be needed as it should keep working
with extra low power devices.<br>
<br>
That said, I don't know enough of the gateway to work on its
implementation, but I'd be glad to make AuthPuppy work with this new
protocol when it is available!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Geneviève<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I've picked up a bit the gateway code and tied up some loose ends (as
in off-by-one errors in boundary checks, unchecked strcpy(), etc.) over
the week-end. I have a bit of time now to improve things on that front.
For now I have put my changes at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bitbucket.org/acv/wifidog-alex">https://bitbucket.org/acv/wifidog-alex</a>
(I know I have commit access to the SVN, but I much prefer the branching
model of DVCS, especially for potentially destabilizing changes.)
I would be highly appreciative if some hardy souls out there could pick
it up and test it (in controlled form) in networks where there's a
significant load. My test setup is a Ubuntu box (vm actually) and does
not include many devices so I can't really stress test.
I'd like to maybe look at implementing the fabled v2 protocol on there
(that is, the one that doesn't exists) if some of the AuthPuppy folks
want to hash out something.
Cheers,
Alexandre Carmel-Veilleux
