Has anyone gotten video streaming to work? If I have several flash FLV's on the same page, they all download at the same time, before you even click the play button.

What is security going to be like, if everyone will be pointing directly to your local files?
I suppose this will imply multiple levels of local security, in addition to what might be already installed, no?
Any comment appreciated

There are many who live behind a proxy. At least that is true for my locality. I personally feel that Opera does good job and this job is a fun experiment and that's why is not in the proper direction. Opera should try to focus more on the unfinished implementation of CSS 2.1
Thanks to Håkon Wium Lie, now we have webfonts. I really love it. The javascript debugger is good. Possibly Opera can invest more in making the browser more solid and stable. As the browser comes free to me I don't ask more.
Guys who are unhappy, don't react harshly to experiments. They are kind of say........ good. or.......Ok, Are you paying for it by the way?

PHP->->-> NO!! Proxy it with Unite if you must, but do not build it into the program itself. The core executable needs to be lean, not one browser-only user wants to download hundreds of megabytes in scripting support.

Speed is fine for most of us. One of the better uses is to make an old PC into your pocket server.

Ruby on Rails is a mess of tiny files, and a new nightmare unfolds with every upgrade.

If you must have superdynamic content, look into the potential of an AJAX-fueled javaserver setup. You can make it fully interactive.

Ah, and since the program draws so little CPU power, you can have parallel installs and run a lot of these things. Home sandboxing for different websites!

This is pretty cool, but It's pretty much useless for most developers until it supports php...

You can't ask developers NOT to develop a service just because you don't want it. Others might need it and you are just impolite.

Here's a link to javer's "Web Proxy" Details site (see June 25 comment below) translated into (bad) English: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fhabrahabr.ru%2Fblogs%2Fopera%2F62482%2F&lp=ru_en&btnTrUrl=Translate

I tested "Web Proxy" using Drupal. It enables Opera Unite to allow users to browse -- but only to browse -- your locally-hosted Drupal site. Unfortunately, it doesn't yet enable Opera Unite to allow users to login, comment, or submit any other forms to your locally-hosted Drupal site. :frown:

Still, it's a big step in the right direction. :smile:

Will you people stop whining.... if you don't want to use your home computer as a server then don't install opera unite... As far as the opera team focusing on making the most reliable browser , guess what , Opera can never be the most reliable browser as long as the mass majorities are using Internet Explorer...and web developers are writing websites meant for Internet Explorer....

To successfully use "Web Server" service, you need to stop "File Sharing" service. Otherwise the hosted website is not accessible from other browser (Firefox, IE or Chrome)

Out of curiosity, I clicked on Unite on my Opera 10 to see what it was about. It didn't make much sense to me. I have four of my own domains and manage two others. Over the years I have written over 60 web sites. Why would I want to to clutter up my computer as a server. WHY?

I tried to test it out, but all I see is "Opera Unit error".

I agree with creegah, Opera should focus on being an excellent, reliable browser. It would be wonderful if it could be used to access any web site in the world.

Yes to spell-checker, yes to faster loading, the new tabs are nice, flexible speed dial is handy, advanced standards recognition is exciting (wanted to be testing html 5, automatic updating, rich-text in the e-mail, but turning it into a web host is over-egging the pudding, IMHO.
