Hi Gerald,

yes, it works!

> ... How is licensing done in the current version?

The encoded license key is added to the path.
This license key is cut out on the web server by means of Apache Rewrite and
forwarded to the check.

Here is a example:

Definition in the configuration file:
location=http://www.inacon.de/ph/1a2b3c4d1a2b3c4d1a2b3c4d1a2b3c4d/

The result after the call:
http://www.inacon.de/ph/1a2b3c4d1a2b3c4d1a2b3c4d1a2b3c4d/DHCP/DHCP-Message-Format_OS_RFC-2131.htm

Apache Rewrite finds and cuts out the license key:
1a2b3c4d1a2b3c4d1a2b3c4d1a2b3c4d

Now URL is forwarded:
http://www.inacon.de/ph/data/DHCP/DHCP-Message-Format_OS_RFC-2131.htm



In the function proto_help_menu_modify the call

g_hash_table_insert(table, g_ascii_strup(keys[i], -1), NULL);

must be changed. If the last parameter NULL is, one finds in the hash table no
duplicates.

thanks, Edgar
