You haven't given any concrete reasons why I'm wrong, so I'll just assume you are until you prove otherwise (WHEEEEEEEEEEE). Repeating yourself doesn't count.
Not every application protocol could use it... but a lot could. Also, responses and error codes are something else entirely. That would be in a reply which would go through the Generic ACK'er again back to the requester (the sender ACKs the receiver's reply). I'm only talking about ACK'ing. The information learned/gained is that the sender now KNOWS the receiver got it and/or processed it (as opposed to knowing it's sitting in the receiver's transport layer... worthless information to the sender's application layer). Can now stop the re-transmit timeout or whatever. You're right about one thing: this argument is futile. d3fault _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
