Er, not really. After a lunchtime conversation with tridge at LCA where he told me about his original project, I just thought it would be cool and put it up on our SoC list. So I know very little about what's possible. > If the Apache mods > and Mozilla speak the same protocol, then machines behind > bandwidth-constrained links will be in much better shape.

I see this as a killer app for Firefox on low-bandwidth links; we'll have every smalltown and developing world ISP which still has dial-up customers telling their customers "use Firefox to make your Internet faster". They'd install the compression server on their web proxy, and voila. Have I understood correctly? Is Martin coordinating a GSoC project to do an apache extension for delta-compression-over-HTTP?
