[Opensim-users] Announcement of inventory tool (MyInventory), mostly of interest to grid operators/grid nauts

[Snowcrash Short]

I have some bad news.

I believe I have found a way to determine if MyInventory is being proxied
by WinGridProxy, but I cannot reliably test if my detection scheme has
false positives.

I would appear that the OSGrid admins has decided to block MyInventory, at
least that is the conclusion I have reached. I can log into OSGrid using
e.g. Phoenix but when doing the same with with MyInventory I receive the
message: "Logins are currently restricted. Please try again later". Login
worked a few days ago, and works on every other grid I have used for
testing.

It is a shame really, I would like to have included detection of
WinGridProxy, and I simply refuse to resort to hacking methods in order to
test this.

So, I'm afraid I cannot comply with your wish to detect and prevent the use
of WinGridProxy.

Best regards
Snowcrash
