This provides ideal pipelining as in many cases all of the requests will fit into a single packet. The input socket is buffered the same way and fed into the fd for the file (may be a pipe in future). - - This double buffering provides fairly substantial transfer rates, - compared to wget the http method is about 4% faster. Most importantly, - when HTTP is compared with FTP as a protocol the speed difference is - huge. In tests over the internet from two sites to llug (via ATM) this - program got 230k/s sustained http transfer rates. FTP on the other - hand topped out at 170k/s. That combined with the time to setup the - FTP connection makes HTTP a vastly superior protocol. ##################################################################### */ /*}}}*/ -- cgit v1.2.3
