Does an implementation of RFC 3229 (Delta encoding for HTTP) exist?

As mentioned briefly in this article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_encoding#Delta_encoding_in_HTTP

which is referenced from here:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3229

I'm currently a CompSci student and would like to try this out, partly for research and partly for fun. Google hasn't returned much in terms of further discussion or research.

Solution

  • This page:

    http://www.nullege.com/codes/search/urllib2.Request.add_header/all

    appears to be indirect evidence of an RFC 3229 implementation.
