about this, maybe he thinks like me, what is the use of this methods the way they are? What is they portability? What is they compress method? Raw meaning what, pure Huffman compression?
- As I already pointed out above, they use the Zlib compress/uncompress methods.
This is all about speed and portability… the 1º because dll has some considerable cost in time for intensive use and the 2º because it is good to be able to interact with other applications.
- If you were really concerned about speed and portability you wouldn't be using mIRC scripting to write a web server. A speed difference between a well coded DLL and calling an internal GZip identifier would be negligable. mIRC scripting itself would be the major limiting factor under 'intensive use'. I don't see why interacting with other applications is a good thing when those applications and the method of interaction are completely detached from IRC.
