What he fails to mention explicitly is that while a binary protocol handler is easier to code up in most languages, an existing protocol with plenty of existing code is even easier. I want libfreenet to support whatever client protocol we agree on, and I'd much rather make function calls to an existing protocol handler than parse the crap out myself. -S _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://www.uprizer.com/mailman/listinfo/devl
