Fwd: The revival of rsync+http

[Martin Langhoff <ma...@gmail.com>]

I guess people around here are aware of Tridge's old rproxy, which was
mentioned here before:

This post is just to mention that there is a revival of the concep,
being hacked into an apache module. There is a lousy wikipage here
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Apache_Proxy_CRCsync and some discussions
starting to take shape in
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/http-crcsync

Also - the mozilla project  has a GSoC project for "web pages over
rsync", which hopefully will use the same protocol as well --
