amuleweb, cookie, and multi-session for multi-users.
« on: June 22, 2010, 05:01:37 PM »
I realised that a cookie was provided to client browers by amuleweb. Would it be possible to use this cookie in order to keep the results of an end user's query not spread to other users using amuleweb at the same time. Indeed, when a u1 user makes a demand on box1, if a user u2 on box2 asks for page search.php (in default skin), user u2 sees the results of user u1. That can lead to a misuse of amuleweb or at least annoy end users.

Thanks, Xavier.

Amuleweb is kind of an orphan child now. It would need lots of work to make it function properly. This is already on our TODO list, but it's unlikely to happen before the next release.

Problem reaches further than that. If you connect two remote guis and start two searches you will get wrong results too.
Multi user capability is simply not a feature of aMule.
If Multi == 2 you can just run two clients on different ports. More than two per IP address are not allowed by the network.

That's another thing to be changed.
