I might be confused right now but how is it that you can run the HTML5 that CX compiles, despite that it uses webgl? I use shaders sometimes and it still works offline, which it should not. CX starts an offline server to handle certain aspects of security CORS but shaders still works totally fine offline wo no server?

This contained information that could be misused by hackers so I deleted it.

Unless you're trying to write stuff on disk, 99% of things works from a local folder. That's not a Cerberus issue, that's how browsers work.

You think the cserver is vulnerable to hackers? The only way that would happen is if your system was compromised anyway and if it was I'm 100% certain that they wouldn't look for cserver to gain access to your files and data because they would already have access.

What you believe just doesn't make sense.

The call back is to localhost not the internet. To get access to your PC via cserver would require them to already have access to your PC.

I'm not sure I found a loophole in web security so I took it away, I rather not mention it here i can take it private but its nothing important and I might even be wrong. Its not related to CX directly its just it is very possible to do it using CX. Only I'm so exhusted now from been overworking so I kind of forgot the details for the moment it will tcome back to me.

I know what you wrote, but I wanted to know if Amon knew it, which I doubt and so his post was kinda irritating and a little harsh to me.

Your post even wasn't even a problematic one, imho. But you decided to alter it, which is totally fine.

Sorry if my post irritated you. I should have thought of a better design to my post. I was merely posting in reply to Wingnut deleting the built in server that CX has for the HTML5 platform due to it being vulnerable to hackers. But in order for a hacker to hack in to a local server on your system it would require the hacker to already have access to your system. If they already have access to your system then there would be no need for them to take control of CX HTML5 server in order to do any damage or deliver a payload.

But yes, @MikeHart I can see how my post was worded and that it could be taken in an irritating or rude way. Apologies.
