Adding the functionality to apsx to pull current data from a database about available modules and being able to download and install them? I would recommend against the latter, since it can be a seciruty issue for software to have the ability to update itself like that. [ malicious code injection ] Adding better support for getting the information about the moduls sounds good though. Since the most common security exploits being found are being done through bad scripting / sanitisation of user input, I am really cautious about the possibility of malicious code injections on servers. > As regards, configuration, what matters is the > underlying > principles.
