Maybe. I'm kind of busy with other stuff though..
Understood
Please take it as a +1 interested here. I guess you don't take external paid work now...
Yeah, not for next half a year at least. Anyway, it would basically need istream and ostream implementations for zlib. istream implementation kind of already exists in zlib plugin, except it's using gz*() functions instead of doing everything in memory. So:
- create zlib istream using zlib's deflate*() functions (I think?) and which takes another istream as input
- convert zlib plugin to use that stream instead
- implement zlib ostream
- create yet another proxy to login processes. Probably some day I should combine all of them to one that only proxies i/ostreams. Although implementing SSL i/ostreams could be a bit difficult.
