Limits¶

• IPv4, HTTP/1.1. No HTTP/2 or 3, IPv6, proxies, cookies or compressed transfers. Send Accept-Encoding only for something you will decode yourself.
• ANSI strings. URLs, headers and paths go to the DLL as single-byte strings, so encode anything outside ASCII in the URL yourself.
• Every new connection reads cacert.pem again, 121 roots in 189 KB. Connections that are kept open don't.
• A fatal error in the DLL (an abort) stops the request's thread for good rather than the app, as in UnRar360. The log says why.
• The log is the host title's, default.log in game:\, where game: can be written. Under xenia-edge it can't be, so Verbose mirrors to DbgPrint.
• xenia-edge's random numbers repeat: its XeCryptRandom returns the same bytes on every run, so keys made there aren't secret. The console's are random (mbedtls-xenon's notes).
• The network's buffers. xsdk_network_limits in src/https.c raises the socket buffers only if the DLL starts the network first. In an app, the runtime has started it already, so the console's defaults apply; requests worked with them on a console, and no download speed has been measured there yet.
• One base address. The DLL is linked at 0x8D000000, one of the bases free in a Silverlight app's process on the console; another DLL in the same app needs another.
