“Browservice” brings modern web browsing to 1990s computers
Take a look at this: “What am I looking at?” That, right there, is Windows 3.11 (Windows for Workgroups)… loading up the Google Cloud VM manager. A website that requires a modern web browser. But, that isn’t a modern web browser. That is Internet Explorer 4.0. On Windows 3.11. Seriously. ⌘ Read more

My thoughts about range requests

Additionally to pagination also range request should be used to reduce traffic.

I understand that there are corner cases making this a complicated matter.

I would like to see a meta header saying that the given twtxt is append only with increasing timestamps so that a simple strategy can detect valid content fetched per range request.

  1. read meta part per range request
  2. read last fetched twt at expected range (as known from last fetch)
  3. if fetched content starts with expected twt then process rest of data
  4. if fetched content doesn’t start with expected twt discard all and fall back to fetching whole twtxt

Pagination (e.g. archiving old content in a different file) will lead to point 4.

Of course especially pods should support range requests, correct @prologic@twtxt.net?
