Salut Eric, Thanks for describing what you're up to and thanks (in advance) for contributing your implementation(s). OpenSSL is used for a lot more than building free webservers, despite misconceptions to the contrary, and having an reasonably-optimal zlib compression layer right there in the SSL/TLS implementation will be useful to many people (and for some, as an unexpected and no-hassle bonus to their apps).

I dare suggest that the best way forward in that respect is to get a widely used SSL/TLS implementation supporting compression in a sensible and tried-and-tested manner, let it become a de-facto standard, then let standards authors grumble over who'll get to backfit some RFC to it. At least that way around, the dog wags the tail I suppose ... :-) Cheers, Geoff -- Geoff Thorpe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geoffthorpe.net/ ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
