[dba-Tech] Opera browser evolves as a multi-node web server

Hi Gustav:

Wow that looks really neat and I will put aside some time to play with it.

The two thoughts I do have are one, it is still very proprietary, as it
appears to only work optimally between other Opera browsers and two, unless
I missed something, it does not work like Emule or BitTorrent as they use
distributive technology to move files very quickly across the web.

But I like the streaming technology that it uses and would be interested in
seeing if a package like Opera Unite could actually be used to make a
desktop computer work like a streaming server.

Jim

Hi all

Opera Unite - a sophisticated alternative to Emule and Bittorrent?

Opera Unite is, in short, a Web server running inside the Opera Web browser.
This Web server allows the user to install services and share these services
with their friends and colleagues (or everyone, if they wish). The
interaction is all done via a central Opera Unite server * Opera Unite uses
a proxy between the server and its clients (found at operaunite.com) to
avoid the need for any special firewall configuration.
