Well, until recently I wasn't aware that binary files could be downloaded silently from the internet
Before I became aware of this, I created a method of doing so by first uploading ascii text files of all the hex to recompile upon download. Worked like a charm. I am able to download ascii hex files and change them back to binary, no problem.
Now that I know that binary files can also be downloaded silently I would like to know what you guys think about what to do for a web protocol.
Say you had signed software that can be downloaded and executed on client machines by authorized developers, should you allow developers to upload both ascii hex or binary (developer choice), just hex, or just binary to work with the protocol?
Why or why not?
Are there any dangers to using one instead of the other/additional risk?
For the moment I have it like so:
| Code: | if @null(%4)
%4 = binary
end
if @equal(%4,binary)
goto binary
else
goto hex
end |
