For my specific use case, I am transferring binary files (already bzipped) using SFTP to an embedded system. Not only would I not benefit from compressing my files again, but I am not sure that the embedded CPU could handle it.
In such a specific case you can (should?) of course build libssh2 completely without zlib...
I would prefer compression as optional and maybe even disabled by default and an API call to specifically enable it.
I was considering using the libssh2_session_flag() function to add that ability. The function already exists but currently has no documented flags it can set...
As for what default to use, I would love to hear some more opinions! -- / daniel.haxx.se _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
