News: GWebCache Updated

Just a heads-up that the GWebCache script and specifications have both been updated.

For those who don't know what GWebCache is:

Quote:

The goal of the "Gnutella Web Caching System" (the "cache") is to eliminate the "Initial Connection Point Problem" of a fully decentralized network: Where do I find a first host to connect to? The cache is a program (script) placed on any web server that stores IP addresses of hosts in the Gnutella network and URLs of other caches. Gnutella clients connect to a cache in their list randomly. They send and receive IP addresses and URLs from the cache. With the randomized connection it is to be assured that all caches eventually learn about each other, and that all caches have relatively fresh hosts and URLs. The concept is independent from Gnutella clients.

Thanks.. Haven't been able to follow it for a time. Means I have to update my Cold Fusion version of GWebcache a bit...
