Yes, we'll probably implement it here at Exceliance once we're done with SSL. The internal reworks needed to address SSL are the same as compression. For a long time I've been against compression because of the added latency that freezes the whole process while compressing a buffer. With nowadays processors, compressing a 16kB buffer should take less than a millisecond and will not slow the whole process down too much. Also, the internal scheduler supports priorities so we can lower the one of the compressing tasks. > And what is the status of SSL feature? I read a post > on the status of SSL , in 2009 ? or maybe early 2010. The devs should start here in a few months and take several months. Regards, Willy
