--- Comment #63 from voidcastr cephryx@gmx.net 2012-09-25 04:06:03 CDT --- Well, so we got a partial implementation here (the attachment from comment #41) that is known to fix dealbreakers for some applications (i.e. Guild Wars 2 and EVE Online).
And we got a test case showing what's missing/incorrect... right?
So, my questions are:
- Why exactly can't the actual patch be merged into mainline? Granted, it's a longish and quite complicated one. But even though it's not complete, it is likely to improve things for many users. Unless it breaks other things or it comprises security issues (it's about https after all), it should at least be considered to merge the patch in its current state.
- In case that is absolutely unacceptable, someone need to pick this up. It seems like Ilya Konovalov already completed the major part of this. So some first-hand hints about where and how to go on might be very useful... given that the code is really tricky.
