ok I read through your patch with a little more attention this time.

so - I like that the server defaults to uncompressed and the client can
read both. I also now grok that you were doing an fd.readline() on the
header then an fd.read() for the rest of the header. But I don't like
the idea of adding any obfuscation to each header. It just makes the
fileformat more specific and harder to understand.


But I do think the first line of the header.info line should include a
version number and/or a version info file should be kept on the server
for the client to see/get.

So I'll work on integrating most of your patch except for the header
modification, thing. I'm just not sure i'm comfortable with that yet,
Can you think of a convincing reason to modify the header in this way?
