client/server protocol

Post by Xytan »

i am currently scanning the sources for the communication protocol between client and server. i must admit that my c++ knowledge is older than 10 years.

can i get an overview or a definition of the protocol somewhere?

There is no real protocol right now we are just sending compressed binary WML I think.

the question is what is sent when.

i saw things like "version", "redirect", "mustlogin" and others. but i have no idea when they are sent and what the response must be. and if all communication is zipped or just the maps...

any more insights?
