Opening up the asset server means I can get anything I have an asset id for. That’s no security at all. And the reason I believe encouraging grid operators to do so damages OpenSim. I do get that having the ability to back up assets is desireable. But do it via viewer extensions using authenticated protocols and where the grid owners can set policy as to what they are willing to permit/deny.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'>Mike<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
