From 73f261d2f44a58fda92e3d6e035051c11c3e4521 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernard Duggan Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 15:55:37 +1100 Subject: Modify mod_esi:deliver/2 to accept binary data This change allows for more efficient delivery of large amounts of data through the mod_esi interface when the handling process has that data in binary format. It avoids the need to convert to list and the extra memory involved in passing that list between processes. --- lib/inets/doc/src/mod_esi.xml | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'lib/inets/doc/src/mod_esi.xml') diff --git a/lib/inets/doc/src/mod_esi.xml b/lib/inets/doc/src/mod_esi.xml index 3c473d3f94..e063088eb4 100644 --- a/lib/inets/doc/src/mod_esi.xml +++ b/lib/inets/doc/src/mod_esi.xml @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ Sends Data back to client.
