I am very much against both binary client protocols and making up our own client protocols. Binary doesn't really give you anything since the parsing time is trivial on a client protocol no matter what since it's so simple. Also, a faster client protocol doesn't matter since you have to wait on the node to node text protocol anyway. The advantage of using a standard protocol is that you can turn Freenet nodes into components which other applications can immediately talk to without any additional coding. For instance if the node spoke CORBA then you could use embed Freenet as a GNOME component. > This can be implemented much more quickly than a text-based, > base64-encoded protocol, which is why I like it. That's short term thinking. I'd rather have a protocol which gets the most usability over time. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://www.uprizer.com/mailman/listinfo/devl
