I tried to preserve as much of the original code as I could. It is not necessarily the way that I would normally do it. Each programmer has his/her own style. For example, the original code used STATIC_BUFFER_SZ As Long = 8192. SimpleServer uses whatever the operating system provides. In my case the buffer size is 65,536, and for the moment I have left the buffer size at 8,192 until I can figure out how to transfer that value from SimpleServer.

There is no reason that encrypted data cannot be integrated into this service. If I was to do it, I would incorporate TLS 1.3. This can be viewed as a starting point, as there is only a small part of TLS 1.2 that provides the same protection. All previous versions are obsolete/obfuscated.

I loved this version combined with SimpleServer, my only problem has been that when remotely downloading many large files to another computer on the network, the browser does not load all the content and is perpetually waiting for a response from the server... and terminates the transfer ...I was checking out the "Gossamer1-7-PcodeVsNative.zip" version which doesn't have this problem, but I'm a bit lost to find the differences, I've been looking for a solution for hours and trying to adapt as I prefer to avoid winsock. please help! ha ha ha.
