Insecure issue tracker registration
by Manuel Leuenberger June 15, 2018

June 15, 2018

Hi, I announced my concerns on Discord already, but got no reaction, so I post it here as well to have it properly archived. "A colleague just noticed that the registration for the issue tracker is HTTP-only. This is not an appropriate choice for sensitive data like a password. Any possibilities to make this HTTPS-only? Link: http://tracker.pharo.org/issues-register-service, setting https:// manually does not work" >From my perspective this is a serious problem that should be quickly addressed, it's not just a nice to have feature. Not treating sensitive data with proper care leaves an image of not caring about user security and looks unprofessional. I don't think that is what Pharo needs. Cheers, Manuel

Now I've fixed the BaselineOfApplicationSecurity to include the ConfigurationOfNacl (https://github.com/hernanmd/ApplicationSecurity) and PBKDF2 from Configuration, so includes the Fortuna and SecureRandom classes. All Nacl tests passes at least on Windows.

Is it bad to have an order NeoJsonObject?
by Tim Mackinnon June 12, 2018

June 12, 2018

Hi - Iâve hit some Json where the outputted values (they are field names) are written out in a specific order - and the author hasnât chosen to use an array to represent those fields in a specific order. { âfield1â : { â¦.}, âfield2â: { â¦ } } I think this is technically incorrect and should be: { [ {âfield1â : { â¦.}, âfield2â: { â¦ } ]} Anyway - given what Iâve got, would it be a terrible idea to create my own version NeoJsonObject and just make it a subclass of OrderedDictionary? I canât see any issues - but then I might be kidding myselfâ¦ Tim

Ah, I have seen your message on SO. Sorry, I can't help more. Maybe someone knows how to install DBXTalk on pharo 6.1. Have you tried to contact the authors or the community (https://guillep.github.io/DBXTalk/contact.html) ? -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
