-Subject: Problems with timestamps in file transfers.
-
-Hi list!
-
-I'm writing some VNC client software that supports the the file
-transfer extensions described in the rfbtight.tex document in
-the svn repo. However, when I communicate with a TightVNC server
-version 1.3.9 (WinVNC.exe) I get strange data for the modification
-times of the files.
-
-Specifically, in the FileListData message, I have understood
-that directories are encoded as <size ~0, mod-time 0>. For
-regular files I get the expected size, but the mod-time is
-always 0xffffffe7 (-25) which seem totally bogus.
-
-The next problem is more disturbing since you will get interop
-problems if you fix it. In the last FileDownloadData message
-(the one with raw-length = compressed-length = 0), the mod-time
-is transmitted in little-endian byte order (at least my TightVNC
-server does so). Since it's more problems fixing this than
-documenting it, I think this endianness issue should be recorded
-in the rfbtight.tex file.
-
-(However, when you use FileUploadData you should transmit
- the mod-time in the expected big-endian network byte order.)
-
-Cheers,
-Peter
