20080309 A simple but very good request from Dan, S50U: it is better to show the newest spots first. patch -p1 webcluster.pl < webcluster.p3 will update from version 20080225 to 20080309 20080225 More secure check for special characters and html-tag- like strings. Thanks to Dave, g7rau, the solution was really easy, just the idea was missing! Patch webcluster.p2 will add this change to rev 20080224 20080224 handling of the counter file was improved. I deleted the initial cnt-file from the archiv, so the script now really checks for the file and creates it automatically. By this way the permissions should be correct. This was not the case if you copied my sample file with the first version. Another minor change is the internal revision number of the script. In the old version it was hardcoded in the footer of the script, at a place where most users will make local changes. This creates a problem for any patches/updates. Sorry, I did not thought of it. From version 20080224 on the revision number is defined in the head of the script and stored in the variable "$rev". If you did any changes in version 20080219 on the footer the patch will bring an error message. In this case just do it manually, change the string "20080219" to "$rev" (both without the apostrophies!") and you will be ready for all future updates. The patch webcluster.p1 matches to version 20080219 and can be installed using patch -p1 webcluster.pl < webcluster.p1 Version 20080224 already includes this changes. 20080219 First released version on the web. 73 Hans, DL5DI
