RIPE needs to fix on their web site: "Please turn on the cookies on your browser to view this site." It doesn't have to be this way...
I took a look at this site and unfortunately the use of cookies is very ingrained into the code. Removing the requirement breaks all functionality of www.ris.ripe.net and changing the functionality would require a rewrite of the site. Our intention is that http://stat.ripe.net/ will replace all functionality currently under www.ris.ripe.net. If RIPEstat doesn't provide the functionality you are looking for, please request it by emailing us at stat@ripe.net. ---------------------------------------------------------- Hi john, First, thank you for responding. Second, what a bummer that RIPE's code was written that way in the first place. If it's done that way in stat.ripe.net as well, I (and others who are security-minded) will never get to use your site. Maybe give "brian at merit" a holler before writing stat.ripe.net in such a way that one MUST allow cookies just to look at the site. Maybe it's too late already. :-( I haven't looked, yet... scott
