Sorry if I'm missing something (I missed the beginning of the thread), but are there people out there who actually *want* masking from the server to the client? The work by abarth, ekr, et al. showed a roughly 40% performance hit due to masking under some circumstances -- presumably adding s2c masking would degrade performance even further. --Richard On Sep 7, 2011, at 3:38 AM, Len Holgate wrote: >> If we allow the server to mask frames, clients need to >> implement logic for unmasking to prepare for them.
