Hi Bill,
Well, it depends. How much security do people need. In the NNTP case, I
can't see a strong argument for confidentiality. There may be a need for
compression, which is why I suggested a "TLC" (Transport Level
Compression) facility, which is, to the extent possible, API compatible
with a TLS library.
[...]
What we need for NNTP is a build without security, but with compression
option.
And it is probably the case for protocols other than NNTP.
The current discussion focuses on NNTP but I bet the same question can
arise from other protocols.
