Re: tcpstream class problem - please help

[Pavel Tsekov]

Hey Vaclav,

I think its not the ftp but actually the level of the implemenation of
the streambuf functionality into the tcpstream (generally TCPStream)
class. I think it doesnt satisfy all the functionality needed by the
streambuf - unfortunately I dont have the knowldge to confirm this. Btw
do you participate in the development of CommonC++ ? Btw you can try the
code and see what happens .. Its not the protocol in this 
case .. Btw how can I subscribe to the mailing list ? or this email
given on the gnu site is just a forwarder for all the developer which
participiate in the CommonC++ development ?
