Thanks, Mabsark! If you could, could you answer gweedo's question in the thread:

I was thinking of simply using localStorage with optional encryption with a passphrase, but I'm definitely up for other suggestions.

I want to ask some questions about this bounty:

    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80815.msg912315#msg912315

But I can't post there yet. What do I have to do to be able to post there?

Does anyone know where the HTTP protocol between server and client is documented?

Also, I have the client installed in Ubuntu, and am not able to select HTTP (it doesn't look grayed out, but won't select when I click the radio button). If I could get the client to use HTTP, I could just analyze the traffic (in leu of documentation, which there doesn't seem to be any of).

I'm a developer who worked at a couple of startups, then Google, and now am looking to do some hacking on Bitcoin!
