Question about web applications

[Paulo Cavalcanti]

Hi,

I submitted ampache (http://ampache.org/) for review, but I was told that it
could not use any external software
bundled in the code. In fact, it uses getid3, a file that seems to come from
horde (horde/Browser.php),
and some others.

According to the weekpedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampache)

"Ampache has been featured in numerous online blogs and technical articles.
One of the more notable was the O'Reilly book Spidering
Hacks<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spidering_Hacks>which tested the
security of online applications. Ampache was found to be
immune to standard spidering hacks as described in the O'Reilly article, and
it has continued that trend by focusing on security during its development.
The Code Philosophy <http://ampache.org/wiki/dev:philosophy> listed on
Ampache's wiki specifically lists security as one of those most important
considerations during application development."

Does it make any sense to fiddle something that has always had security as a
prime concern?

Any comment is welcome.

Thanks.
