yeah, currently you need to do polling for this. I'd much prefer if there was an elegant way to switch the connection into a value sending mode, kinda like a live-stream. I can basically think of two possibilities: GETLIVEVAL 500 Registers a write callback and sends each value dispatched to that write-callback to the remote side. After 500 values, removes the write callback and waits for the next command. This probably seems a bit artificial but preserves the request / response semantic of the rest of the protocol. SETLIVEMODE Registers a write callback and sends each value being dispatched to the remote host. No more commands will be accepted and the sending can only be stopped by closing the connection. This is likely what many applications intend to do. Would that solve your problems? Regards, —octo -- Florian octo Forster Hacker in training GnuPG: 0x91523C3D http://verplant.org/
