Thank you for the prompt reply!
You have assumed correctly, I am interested only in moving requestOnce
to UDP, and yes, I would greatly appreciate if the next release of ARIA
would feature requestOnce with UDP. We are trying to use UDP as much as
possible in general communication in an effort to reduce size of packet
overhead and avoid resending of non-delivered packets. I am not
interested in moving the whole connection protocol to UDP exclusively.
I will try and modify ArNetworking to be able to compile it and use it
correctly and I will certainly report any changes that I make.
Thank you once again for your quick and elaborate response, I will let
you know how it all went when I try it tomorrow.
