SetInfo URL

Postby friarsol » 28 Aug 2011, 03:29

I was taking a look at my scripts that were grabbing the Oracle text, and thinking about converting them so they would not need to hammer magiccards.info any time an update ran. Is the URL in SetInfo actually used for anything anymore? I know when we first started we were grabbing pictures from there, but now I think that isn't used at all? Is this correct?

When we were maxing out the bandwidth on the old server, I did enable the code to grab some pics from that URL and some pics from cardforge.org. At somepoint, I'd like to work out a way for this URL to act as a backup, so if cardforge.org goes down, it will then use the URL in the file.

I'd also like to ask other devs if anyone would consider getting their own hosting account for mirroring purposes. If that were to happen, then I'd feel comfortable removing the URL from the SetInfo.
