Hi Balázs,

this is a useful extension to our basic SOCKET implementation.
If you are willing to donate it under LGPL license we would be
happy to add it to the xmlBlaster distribution.

If so, you can send the patch directly to my mail address.
You would need to add a test case as well and some documentation in
the SOCKET requirement (xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/protocol.socket.xml).

Is there a compatible C compression library with a free license around
which could be added to the C/C++ client library?
Do you have a property for a minimum message size to switch on
compressing?

Regards

Marcel
