I&#39;m not aware of any major &#xA;deficiency in them.  Most of them won&#39;t apply to us, which is fine, they &#xA;don&#39;t seem to apply to HTTP either.  We can extend the scheme on our own &#xA;if we find a good reason to.&#xA;&#xA;That implies 16 bits, or a varint.  I would avoid a string or varstring &#xA;here; we already have a text field.  Varint vs. 16 bits is a minor &#xA;issue, and arguments can be made in both directions.  I flipped a coin &#xA;and got heads, so I&#39;ll say varint.&#xA;&#xA;Gavin Andresen wrote:&#xA;&gt; RE: use HTTP-like status codes:&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Okey dokey, I&#39;ll add a one-byte machine-readable HTTP-like status &#xA;&gt; code. Unless y&#39;all want a 32-bit status code.  Or maybe a varint. Or a &#xA;&gt; three-character numeric string. I really and truly don&#39;t care, but I &#xA;&gt; am writing this code right now so whatever you want, decide quickly.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; If anybody has strong feelings about what the reject categories should &#xA;&gt; be, then please take the time to write a specific list, I can&#39;t read &#xA;&gt; your mind....&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; -- &#xA;&gt; --&#xA;&gt; Gavin Andresen&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------&#xA;&gt; October Webinars: Code for Performance&#xA;&gt; Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.&#xA;&gt; Explore tips for MPI, OpenMP, advanced profiling, and more.
