  • Feature enquiry/request: Basic FREQ client support

    From Kostie Muirhead@1:134/101 to g00r00 on Thursday, May 27, 2021 03:50:10
    Greetings, howdy, and hello!

    I was playing with a Mystic install, and was wondering if or how much FREQ support is on the docket, or if it's on the radar? Sending a .req file with a filebox works fine, but both fidopoll and mis poll close the connection before the remote server sends the file back.

    Anyways, Best wishes.

    The ability to respond to a .REQ instantly in the same session is part of BinkP 1.1. Currently Mystic uses BinkP v1.0 but it does have the ability to do the v1.1 features as well, its just disabled. The plan was to make sure BinkP v1.0 mode was stable first before enabling v1.1 features so I would say enabling 1.1 is probably long overdue at this point.

    I'll try to set up a couple of mailers to test with so I can get this enabled. I don't really have a time line mostly because I haven't been spending as much time on Mystic lately in general. It is planned and on my list of things to do though!
