Just procrastinating a bit on the basic h2 parts. Can we please not add another Chernobyl option ? We don't need the choice between Compress+Gzip+Zlib, just pick one of them and the world will be a better place. There are no credible schenarios under which a HTTP/2 implementation cannot implement *any* of those three, but it is utterly stupid to require them to implement all three, just to be sure to interop. If somebody comes up with a compression which is significantly better than gzip, for this purpose, then *that* could be added to the list. -- 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.
