It's be neat to see some real-world data with these ideas. Brian ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 6 Jul 1999 01:03:31 +1000 From: Andrew Tridgell To: Multiple recipients of list RSYNC Subject: rsync in HTTP Some of you may remember me mentioning a project I'm been working on for a while to build rsync into HTTP. Peter Barker and I have written up a brief paper on the idea and we have also built a working prototype that is getting quite good results. If any of you are interested you can read the paper at ftp://samba.org/pub/tridge/rproxy/rproxy_paper.ps The code is still _very_ experimental, comes with no docs and is not at all meant for production use, but if you want to take a look at it then you should be able to get it via anonymous cvs using the module name "rproxy". See http://samba.org/cvs.html for cvs access details. Cheers, Tridge
