RE: OpenSSL and compression using ZLIB

[Le Saux, Eric]

RFC2246 mentions "compression state" in their list of connection states. It also says the following:   6.2.2. Record compression and decompression      [snip snip] The compression algorithm translates a    TLSPlaintext structure into a TLSCompressed structure. Compression    functions are initialized with default state information whenever a    connection state is made active.   I will go ahead and see if we can take better advantage of ZLIB's stream compression.   If it doesn't fit, I will simply compress my data one layer above SSL.   - Eric           -----Original Message----- From: David Schwartz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 4:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Le Saux, Eric Subject: RE: OpenSSL and compression using ZLIB       On Tue, 12 Nov 2002 18:09:13 -0600, Le Saux, Eric wrote:   >I believe Gregory Stark meant RFC2246.         Okay, but I don't see where RFC2246 says that the compression/decompression protocol can't have state or must compress each block independently or that any particular compression protocol must be implemented in any particular way.         DS
