That's my point exactly.
That's why SFL should not be involved in the LRWP C lib. You'd think that 
this could have been done the first time around ;-)

Not quite. Building SFL (and the other Xitami libs) with the  multithreaded 
C runtime libs under Windows ends up affecting Xitami negatively (dies after 
a few seconds or so).

I use zlib for the compression and BlowFish for encryption. But I have kept 
these layers separate from LRWP itself. It makes things a lot cleaner to 
reuse.

Anyways, I end up writing a C++ version of LRWP in about a day with a few 
performance optimizations regarding memory allocation and the ability to 
save posted data to disk.

Fabien.
