Fantastic! I assume the rsync-http now know of the vastly superior
karma of crcsync over the 2-hash method of rsync. If the Apache mods
and Mozilla speak the same protocol, then machines behind
bandwidth-constrained links will be in much better shape. I can see
3G-internet providers pushing this too.

Also cc'ing Jim Gettys -- our long-held hope is that the resulting
extension to the http protocol is something that can be folded into a
future http spec.

Pushing buttons to create http-crcsync at lists.laptop.org to serve as a
coordination point.
