HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: ICON transparant bacground bug

« on: May 02, 2015, 02:04:26 AM »

How dare you not take my cosmetic bug as highest priority. I think i would need a refund...

Where does HFS actually save those gif files ?

Would it be possible for HFS to make png files instead of gif. Thereby it can contain the the full 24bits colors and 8 bit alpha channels of the modern windows icons.

I can inform alpha channel transparancy and png compression in .ico files are not the issue for HFS

I did manage to fix it by using another  png to ico converter

whatever.. you guys ... 
I also was able to recreate it, but was able to corect it...

@ LEO --I've been told that from school with in many program classes...

I'm wiling to bet as the fiels he uploaded when i looked at it, that it has to due with the side fodler with the thumbs and ini not transporting the corect image...

What i mean, why are you the only one with these exe havin this issues with transparenting, i have upladed and transfered many exe with HFS when in my computer repair shop... Never had an issue/ still don't... its you file!

How did you correct it ?.
I have no issues with transfering files. just this lack of transprancy in the .gif files HFS make
Also this seem to happen to all icons that are not using the HFS built in icons.
The icon from firefox are also lacking transparency. so its not just my files.

I'm wondering if its due to icon with alpha channels confuses the icon to .gif convertion and it drops alpha channels completely ( The 100% transparant pixels are black in RGB data channels)
seems it can only handle on/off transparancy

First, it is not a bug!...
i can't find a resorce to expalin why this happen...nor, how it happens,

I know it does this, all servers do(never been a big issues with in the develompent for HTML traffic!...

It has smothering to do with HTML in the fact that a image with a transparent background becomes white (the default html background color)...

*Why/how.. doesn't matter
the point, you have to edit html code/ css to "FIX IT!"

examples:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6289592/transparent-background-color-in-image

#myDiv {
 background:transparent url(myImage);
 }

and/or

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4738358/png-image-with-transparency-renders-with-white-background-in-all-browsers

<html.... BackColor="Transparent" />

***
...i see that you are serving "ICO" file type files for icon on the page... they are icon files(they don't hold the transparent background info!), "png" filetypes will!,You need to you a pic that will hold a transparent background within the picture file info...

You can set/edit  these icon files with Gimp/paint.net/photshop to fix the images to your like-ing, then save them  as "png"s...

Then using html,  have them be sized down and look like icons...
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp

try:
<img src="image.png" alt="Smiley face" height="42" width="42" BackColor="Transparent" >

the image will appear on a webpage on how it appears if you got to the files itself. since you have the icon files, if you go to the web address of your icon files and open that link, that is how the picture will appear. From there you can take the picture "USING HTML / CSS" to make it transparent, icon files will not hold a transparent background in html! you are limited to certain file types...

*i will not edit the images as i don't want to, nor know how you want them...
if you open the image.png(with a transparent background within its image data...) the file on your HTML serve and will have a transparent background, then it will show a transparent image for you to use...

*
So, if the css / html will not work for you current needs, do they have to be icon files?.. if they do, sorry your out of luck!

Its a bug as it's a pierce if work done by HFS that is not correct.
I don't know what you mean by all servers do.  But i pretty sure plenty of  HTTP servers can deliver an .GIF file with transparency.

I don't know why you are talking about white background.  The background in the icon in HFS is clearly black.
I can see that the uploaded pictures show its as qhite and has other artifacts

no amount of html code can change the fact that the .GIF pictures has no transparent pixels.
Please. Try to do proper homework before correcting someone next time by posting links that is not relevant. (PNG alpha channels issues are different from a .GIF marked palette transparancy)

anyway to put it short
HFS is making wrong .GIF files with no transparent pixels



@LeoNeeson
I did upload the icons files in a zip file in ny previous post.  But I'm uploading the wrong .GIF file and the .exe again just in case.
As backup both .exe files can be found here  on my site http://162.248.14.6/
So both .exe and the .gif can be downloaded in case the forum messes up my uploaded files.

Is there a way to inject my own. gif files ?

It seems that HFS does not understand icon with transparency. In the HFS main windows and on the served html page, the  icons transparent part er replaced with black.
That's rather unfortunate for icons that are black and transparent since the turn into a total black squarer.

First
QUOTE:
"It appears that HFS saves user password as clear text instead as a hash"
------------
see link for more info:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/146146/is-my-form-password-being-passed-in-clear-text

That is default for all/any HTTP web server!... you must encode your own encryption/Login details!

I think you are misunderstanding. you link talk about the http request. I'm talking about the password saved on the server.
and its is definitely NOT normal procedure to save them as clear text. Its a huge data breach issues if you store passwords in clear text or encrypted mode. Its been proper way for security reasons to save them as a salted hash for a long time now.

Double chekc the "URL encoding" under HFS menu in expert mode

I'm not sure what you want me to check here. At first look see nothing that that does any of my suggestions

second, your talking about encoding web links, which is a great feature but not yet available for hfs... but there isa better solution/ handle on this... and controlled by FREE third part software...

I recommend stunnel and this version of HFS:
https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html

http://www.rejetto.com/forum/hfs-~-http-file-server/for-testing-purpose-hfs-beta-279-including-ssl-tools/msg1059991/#msg1059991

I will look into this but it seems to be to just be a vpn tunnels and nothing to do with my sueestions.
It will help against third party snooping but if i undestand correctly it requires software as well on the clients.
The reason Im' using a http file server is to avoid the clients need for special software
Correct me if im wrong


@Rejetto
Sounds good.
i know i can change the name but the url and the apparent name in the html page is still going to be the same
so if the the foldername has to be something understandable so will the url.
If im missing somewhere to have the html link name be different from the actual url im sorry for not reading the documention propperly

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Password as Cleartext ?

« on: March 12, 2015, 11:04:22 PM »

It appears that HFZssaves user password as clear text instead as a hash.  Would it be possible to  implant proper hashing with salt in the future?

Also links seems to contain names of folders which is highly snoop able by third party. it would be nice with a randomnesses feature for the links  so avoid snooping as well as deep linking
Basically
When you hit link with name "nasty folder" it should not link to" server/Nasty folder" but instead to "ever/random gible" and the content of "Nasty folder" should be behind that link.
It could randomize it at each start up  and with a certain day interval
