Thanks to all contributed to this clever hack. MP3 on all browsers, without flash, is a really worthy goal. But I'm hearing sputtering, myself. Are you guys going to carry this to …

You are of course correct, but that's not related to what I'm getting at. My question raised the point that the server would not be able to tell the difference, after an interrupti…

When you start a local shell, you can generate some session identifier (export DURABLE_SESSION=$RANDOM) and put it in your environment. Then have your ssh client send it to the ser…
