The main point of this is to allow the server to asynchronously pass errors back, while still allowing streamed and pipelined data. +Unfortunately, the multiplex protocol is not used at every stage. We +start up in plain socket mode and then change over by calling +io_start_buffering. Of course both the client and the server have to +do this at the same point. + The server then talks to the client as normal across the socket, passing checksums, file lists and so on. For documentation of that, stay tuned (or write it yourself!). + + |
