Simon Brown Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Would it be possible, when Paint.NET crashes, to ask the user whether they wish to send the crash log without requiring the user to email it to you in a similar way to the same function in Windows and PaletteConverter?

Zagna Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I imagine 2 things. How would it be able to send it? In order to send an email, the user would need to input the ISP email server and possibly authentication info. Or send that info to an open relay which the ISP might block. Or would the crash be sent to a crash log server via HTTP POST or similar. That would have to be open, and somebody could just inspect the headers sent and spam the server and get a DoS. Microsoft has propably complex auth and vast resources for the Windows crash logs. My 0.02€. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have to be open, and somebody could just inspect the headers sent and spam the server and get a DoS. It could be IP and total volume limited.
