[Opensim-users] List of banned viewers for config files?

[Justin Clark-Casey]

GetMesh and GetTexture should be fine in 0.7.4-rc1 (and probably earlier).

I think the "may lead to poor performance" was rather cautious.  If anything, fetching via HTTP should lead to better 
performance since it's not generating lots of UDP messages that have to traverse OpenSimulator's UDP client stack (and 
hence appear to be able to hold up/crowd out other UDP messages in the process).
