David,
you just brought up a question in my mind: What if we don't use the
"global index" at runtime but also at compile time:
programmer
-> Defines "RSL" with compile-time swc/f and online path and
eventual failbacks
compiler
-> Creates MD5 from from swc/f
-> Compares it against MD5 from online path
-> Compiles the MD5 into the swf (loader)
(Reasoning: Avoid man-in-the-middle for developers)
loader
-> Downloads the swc of one of the mirrors.
-> Compares the MD5 hash
-> If match accept and use loader to load it.
-> If no-match try other failbacks.
yours
Martin.
