[volunteergrid2-l] tahoe-lafs 1.8.2 released

[Billy Earney]

Yesterday the tahoe-lafs group released 1.8.2, which allows for
compatibility with Twisted 10.2, and several bug fixes..   I'll probably
upgrade in a week or two.. :)

FYI..  in my area, they are calling for over 1 foot of snow in the next 2
days, and a possibility of down power lines.  If my power goes off, my UPS
will only supply power for an hour, so my machine could be down for several
hours in the next few days.  This is a very rare occurrence in my area.  We
might get a single bad storm a year, but so far this is the 3rd, and we
still have 6 weeks of winter left! :)

That is a great idea Shawn.  Done.

Your credentials will be your e-mail address as listed in the gateway. 
Expect a private e-mail from me with your password.  Please let me know 
if you would like a different password as I currently don't have a 
password portal.

A few items to note.

- I chose digest authentication instead of basic authentication for 
security reasons.  If that causes any problems let me know.

- I am unable to host this over SSL right now.  I don't think that 
should be a big deal.

- I had to map the address space to the /vg2 directory (e.g. 
http://if3-1.no-ip.org:3456/vg2/).  This is because of a bug in IE (see 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2192811/digest-authentication-not-working
-on-ie8-firefox-and-chrome-are-fine 
for a few more details).  This may cause problems later once files start 
being managed via the gateway.  I just can't tell yet.  If we don't care 
about IE, I can get rid of the vg2 mapping.  Firefox and Chrome work 
fine either way.

Jody, let me know if you would rather host this on your node.  I don't 
mind either way.

Thanks,

Brad
