Hello developers, My proposal for *Speed up Wget's Download Mechanism* has been accepted by the mentors!
There are two tasks to be done there: - conditional GET requests (if-modified-since) (RFC7232) - TCP Fast Open (RFC7413) A summarized version of my proposal is available: http://pliki.h.trsk.org/gsoc/wget_public.pdf IMHO it is quite obvious how the first feature should be implemented in Wget. However, there is some more moving around needed to use TFO. I have proposed two possible ways in the above PDF. Perhaps you can express your opinion about the approaches, or you have another idea for accomplishing it? Another issue I am thinking about is how to test the TFO feature. I am not very familiar with network API in Python, but my first idea would be to count the TCP segments sent and received and/or to check that the first packet (with SYN flag) contains data (the request). What do you think? I will be thankful for any other suggestions, as well. Have a good day, Hubert
