Curious how this would work implementation-wise. Since the DirServer knows the file size (or at least has block descriptors), how would a custom StoreServer for the camera send back a dynamic-sized block? Would you define one block in the DirServer with a max size and allow the StoreServer to respond with a frame of any size below that max? Does the client validate the block sizes equate between the DirServer and StoreServer? Would the DirServer have to be "in on" the camera implementation alongside StoreServer for any of this to work?
- detaro 10y agoYes, I think it would require a custom directory server as well (as do other proposed features in the intro document), but at least for special addresses like this that shouldn't be much of an issue
