26 Jan 2008 - Latest Changes

Jan 26th 2008

I've uploaded a slightly revised version of Surftrackr. As ever, you can get the latest (and previous) tar-balls of the software from the download site.

The changes include:

  1. Ability to flag all users and URLs in a list, to clear all flags and invert flags.
  2. No more CGI directory. All AJAX function calls (flagging users) now work directly through Django rather than standalone scripts, which were cumbersome to maintain and very slow when flagging lists of users.
  3. Mime-types are now recorded against URLs, where the file-type can be identified from the file extension.

 

The mime-type is useful because I will be able to develop a report showing (for example) all graphics downloaded by a user, and create graphs of the type of information downloaded. Graphs will probably not use Google's Chart API, since it seems a bit awkward to get it to behave as I'd like it to.
