One item we have been looking into lately is overcoming the inefficiencies of the TCP protocol when it comes to long distance connections. Do you think that a libcurl running atop UDT (http://udt.sourceforge.net) is something that feasible at all?
Well, libcurl does application layer protocols and transports using them. I'm not aware of any such protocol that uses "UDT" or similar UDP-based transports to overcome some of TCP's problems. And I don't see any such protocol getting any noticable popularity. So no, I don't see any such attempt coming to libcurl in the short term.
What particular use do you see for it and where/how would you use it? And please don't top-post... -- / daniel.haxx.se ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
