[Playerstage-developers] jpeg compression of mapfile interface

[Kurt K. <konolige@AI.SRI.COM>]

Folks, looking at the code in libplayertcp/playertcp.cc, it appears that 
map tiles in the mapfile interface will be compressed using jpeg, if 
that library exists during compilation, and otherwise, will be 
uncompressed.  That's fine, but there's no way for a client to tell 
whether the received data is compressed or uncompressed - it assumes 
that the client library is compiled with the same settings as the 
server, which may not be the case.
