[Request] Make hKit independent of proxy by default

[Cristiano]

I just noticed that the W3C tidy proxy doesn't load my site, which
obviously pisses me off as now no-one can access my hCard on my site.
I was looking through the code and noticed that there are 2 extra
modes: php and exec which use two different solutions that are both
not available on my system.

Now this gets people into a pickle: force people to use one of those
modes and half the hkit installs stop working, keep people on the
proxy and my site (and a few others) become irresponsive.

I know this is obviously my issue, and I AM contacting my hosting
provider about this issue to figure out what is going on, but maybe we
can find a different solution. Can't we, most of all i think for speed
issues, do all this tidying up in hKit itself?

Hi Cristiano

You don't have to use the W3C proxy, you can use any other proxy you
like. In one instance I've implemented by own.

I think offering three different options for using Tidy (or similar)
is plenty, and I've got no intention of re-implementing Tidy inside
hkit. In fact, I believe it would be wrong to do so.

Hi Drew,

I know you can use other solutions, or build your own proxy, but I
think it is sad to see that this would make hKit far from a drop-in
solution. Not to mention the performance issue raised by everyone
using the W3C proxy. I was at the moment looking at writing a patch
myself for hKit using the HTML Purifier (http://htmlpurifier.org/).
Why do you think it would be unwise to build a solution into hKit
itself?
