But I am a firm beliver of supplying good tools to qualified people, knowing they will get the most out of them, whereas no matter what you do, the unqualified will make a mess of things. I used to say that I'd be happy if FreeBSD had 1% market share, provided it was the 1% smartest users. So I think we should make it a goal, duely prioritized, that HPACK work well with base64 (it already does, but mostly by accident) and advertise this decision. The competent will take the clue and use base64, and that's enough for me. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
