Re: Suggestion to v0.6 Handshake Quote: Originally posted by Moak
About v0.6 handshake upwards compatibility. A client should not respond with "GNUTELLA/0.6 200 OK" when a v0.7 client (or above) connects. Instead it should respond with "GNUTELLA/0.6 501 Not Implemented". | What advantages would that have over 0.6? When you receive a "GNUTELLA/0.6 200 OK" to a "GNUTELLA CONNECT/0.7" you will know that 0.7 is not implemented and, if you want, you can terminate the connection, if you wanted to prefer hosts that implemented the newer protocol. |
