New server-side Globe should attempt to run full fingerprints through SHA-1 on client side if possible
-
If JavaScript is available, the browser-part of Globe computes the SHA-1 of any 40 hex chars given as input and sends that to the Globe server. It uses a different parameter than the non-JavaScript version of Globe though, say, "search2=", so that Globe server can distinguish.
-
If JavaScript is not available, Globe browser simply sends the search paramter as "search=" to the Globe server.
