It is an utterly disgraceful hack that destroys most of the things that make 9P and Plan 9 awesome. Hint: Pretending that all networks do TCP is as bad or worse than pretending the whole world is a VAX. If you are going to do this kind of crap, you could just as well use HTTP. uriel On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 9:51 PM, Andreas Wagner wrote: > How about using streaming 9p in 9front?
