Re: Software/Code Delivery Mechanism

Biggest problem I have with an intermediate machine (ie a browser on some
pc) between the "server" (ie IBM.com) and the "target" (ie my i) is, in
effect, you are transferring files multiple times. This can be somewhat
mitigated in that the client may receive a zip from the server and expand
that locally before sending to the target and the local transmission may
be faster. But if your client is off site (at home worker or remote i)
that is off. Unless the client spawns a process on the target that does
the actually download and the client just monitors the process. Such a
process should also handle a loss of communication between the client and
the target.
