In the Hybi Working Group many participants insisted on being able to serve very large frames using `sendfile(...)`-style APIs. Deflate re- quires sending additional data every couple of kilobytes, which would interfere with that. I haven't studied the actual impact or how such an argument applies to the most recent HTTP/2.0 proposals, and suspect it's actually not a terribly big issue, but I would expect objections; accordingly, such a proposal would have to come with some data that alleviates concerns in this area. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
