Frost uses DDA for all files, this saves some resources (transfer over socket to Frost). Is DDA to expensive in the node, should clients not use DDA for small files?
A TestDDA functionality in the node would be great. Client to node: TestDDA FileToWrite=c:\dir\file-123.tmp WriteContent =<unique token> FileToRead=c:\dir\file.456.tmp ReadContent=<unique token> EndMessage Node to client: TestDDAResponse FileWritten=true FileRead=true ReadContent=<same unique read token> EndMessage This way the client can check if the file was really written (check unique token in file) and if the node was able to read the other unique token from the specified file. If something fails the client could still use DDA for PUTs (read allowed) or for GETs (write allowed). Just an idea....
