server to client compression?:) - 15/01/03 08:09 PM
a friend of mine gave the idea of using ziplins (or other compression) with server to client protocol
the idea is that in this way ppl with relative slow connections can still hang up on large chans
I realize that this is an issue that involves both ircd coders and client developers, and also that the idea has some bad aspekts, but what do you think about it?
we decided that only server to client comperssion is needed, one way
in that way can be prevented flood attacks from compressed to non-sompressed clients, and also the output client gives is usually very little in comparison to the trafic he gets
If anyone has opinion state it
And another thing, I'm not suggesting that as a feature request, just debating the idea, so please don't came up with stupid arguments like "I don't like it"
