I'm unclear as to why Cayenne should have any knowledge of the connection at all. Why should Cayenne care whether the connection between the client and server is HTTP, HTTP2, files on disk, unix sockets or email mime attachments? I'd like a blob or stream of serialised data passed up to my application. Then the app can decide how to transport, compress, encrypt and authenticate it. Can we create an interface which encapsulates just the data stream? Ari -- --------------------------> Aristedes Maniatis GPG fingerprint CBFB 84B4 738D 4E87 5E5C 5EFA EF6A 7D2E 3E49 102A
