Hi All,

While I was searching for methods to send the result of a query to the other side of the world, because it might be
niceto go there once in a while, I noticed
 
my best option, SSL compression, has been disabled as of version 14. Could someone please explain to me, why
compressionis being considered unsafe / insecure?
 

Transmissions to areas outside of Europe cost €5/mb at the moment and that makes SSL compression, or compression in
generala vital component of d
 
ata transmissions.

Might the underlying reason be, that certain people have shown interest in my libpq/PQblockwrite algorithms (
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/c7cccd0777f39c53b9514e3824badf276759fa87.camel%40cyberfiber.eu) but felt turned
downand are now persuading me to trade
 
the algorithms against SSL compression, than just say so please. I'll see what I can do.

Best regards,
Mischa Baars.
