Does anyone know who added the unfinished ZLIB code to provide deflated replies in the web server component? Are they going to finish it, or do we need to start again? The current code uses units that are not part of the distribution or Delphi.
I have many HTML pages that are very large and benefit considerably from compression. Also, the web server authentication assumes a clear password is available to check, whereas historically many servers check against a hashed password, a Unix version of MD5sum for Apache. I can overload the checking function, but this seems bad original design. Also, should the web server support customised error responses, like 401, 404, etc, without duplicating lots of code in overloads in the application.
