Transcoder whitelisting and GAE
Written on 19.4.08
Yesterday I received an invitation for GAE and spent some time today poking it around. As a result, I've created a service for the mobile community that tries to make everyone's life more simple when it comes to applying for mobile content whitelisting.
Content providers just have to drop their domains on the box, mobile network operators (all of them?) can download the OPML and add those domains to their whitelists. Fetching the OPML with If-Modified-Since is also supported, so no one will have to download the same domains time and time again. Hopefully this makes it easier on everyone until a better solution is reached.
Oh right, the service is available at http://mcw.appspot.com.
