Updateable Subspace Key (Freenet)
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
Updeteable Subspace Keys are simply a convenient way to receive the data from Signed Subspace Key (Freenet). One can always transform one key into another.
To turn SSK into a USK one must:
- Change "SSK@" into "USK@" in the beginning of the key
- In the data name part change ".+-\d+" (see regex notation) into ".+/\d+"
USKs differ in that they will update the version number when a newer version is known. If one wants to request that the node first looks for a newer version even if it is not yet known, then a symbol '-' needs to be added to the number (making a number negative).
- For example: USK@..../mysite/5/ will load the fifth version of the site unless a newer version is known; while USK@..../mysite/-5/ will first search the network for version 6, 7, ... and then display the last one found.
USK is the preferred way to link to files in Freenet 0.7.
