Re: [hybi] Restarting IESG review on permessage-deflate

Ok, add to the b) side of the equation:

scala - same classlib and jvm as java
jython - same classlib and jvm as java, no native zlib support here
php - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.zlib.php (cannot support
max_window_bits, no_context_takeover might be possible)
c# -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.compression.deflatestream_methods.aspx
(cannot
support max_window_bits, no_context_takeover might be possible)
