EvilDude, Round 2

hi, 

just in the frost-board 'frost'

If I wanted to download a key but it was rare, could I increase my chances of 
getting it if I inserted a KSK redirecting to it, forcing every frost user to 
download that file?

Similarly, could I create a denial of service attack by inserting a bunch of 
redirects to all the large files I can find? I'm not going to attempt it this 
time around, I'm just wondering.

-----

The fcp client should be able to detect the redirects if wanted.

My suggestion: a new progress, that show the redirects.

   static final int showRedirects = 128;

   verbose=verbose | showRedirects


Now the ClientGet returns a new progress message 

   FollowingRedirect 
   Identifier=hello
   RequestedURI=freenet:KSK@something-1-2
   RedirectTargetURI=freenet:CHK@jdncdj,hdcbd,a8
   EndMessage

Now the client app can decide how to handle it.

thanks.
