I'm no security expert either, but what you say makes sense.
Thanks for clarifying.

SSL/TLS HTTPS security flaw. Is Vienna affected?

I'm sure you guys are well aware of this but if not I thought I'd bring it to your attention. There is a security 'bug' in SSL that can allow a security breach. AFAIK its intrinsically related to SSL use of compression. All major browsers have taken remedial action [or aren't affected.] Could you co...

Re: Why does Vienna phone home even with auto update off?

Re: Why does Vienna phone home even with auto update off?

Using Wireshark I managed to capture what is happening. Firstly, it seems to do the phone home only once a day. So it doesn't happen every time I open Vienna. So I changed the date on my mac and that 'fooled' Vienna into doing it again today. To my non-developer eyes it would seem that despite havin...

No, the previous version was the stable release version 2.5. My current version is stable 2.6. I have no plugins installed, just plain old vanilla Vienna. I notice the activity when (a) I am connected to the net and then (b) start Vienna. It instantly connects to 216.34.181.96 over port 80 which is ...

Why does Vienna phone home even with auto update off?

Hi
Firstly, thanks for the great open source RSS app for OS X that is Vienna.

Why does Vienna phone home to 216.34.181.96 [projects.sourceforge.net] even though I have auto update off?
I noticed this in the last version of Vienna too.

Thanks
