Zip64 support
Hi, Can someone please tell me the status of Zip64 support in commons:compress? I read that it was supposed to go into 1.1, but I don't know how to tell. Thanks - Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@commons.apache.org

Hello, The reason is probably as simple as the protocol is not a natural match for the feature. With FTP you stream the whole file up or down, not a random piece.

Re: Zip64 support

Re: [vfs]
Hi Gary, While it is true that FTP is typically thought of as a streaming rather than random access file system, VFS does support random access reading. This is confirmed of course by the list of capabilities and code. I have a hacked version which supports random writing and does so using the following strategy. - all read - if outputstream present flush and closeand clear - continue with reading byte(s) - seek - if outputstream present flush and closeand clear - perform seek. - // input and output streams are clear(nulled) and will be recreated by the next read / write - write methods - if outputstream is absent connect to server and restart at file pointer position - write byte(s). While it appears to work, i thought there might have been some deeper reasoning behinid the lack of inbuilt support in FtpFileProvider. After all that the same strategy is used for reading as i have described for writing. My code is however a mess as i have only implemented writing for some RandomAccessContent. If anyone is interested id be happy to share.
