CDN Support #44

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Can a CDN support be added. Content Distribution system.
Instead of downloading the map from the server, it would download it from a
url something like http://cdnserver/map/%name%

figure this would save bandwidth on some servers, or help reduce the impact
on games that are currently up

Note: I just deleted a comment I made on this issue because I posted it to the 
wrong
issue. Sorry.

This issue (CDN Support) would require a very carefully designed piece of 
software to
connect to your GHost++ games and pretend to be a real player in order to 
distribute
the map. It's complicated and messy and requires a player slot and therefore I 
won't
be writing it. There is no way to direct Warcraft 3 to download the map from an 
HTTP
or FTP (or any other) server.

i figure, was looking at protocol and there isn't a clean or easy method to do 
this.
Figure if you put some time into, could hopefully spawn something from it. 
Thanks
anyways.
