Jules Jules at Zend.To
Thu Mar 1 14:44:42 GMT 2012


My thoughts precisely. But he seems to think he can stop his users 
getting files off site if he stops the exact ZendTo route he outlined. I 
don't agree with him either, which is one of the reasons I'm not going 
to spend my time writing it.

He's got the source, he can implement it himself if he wants to. Or pay 
someone else to write it for him.
