connection draft: Global messages
Just noticed something in re-reading this:
The global messages are:
SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUEST (80)
SSH_MSG_REQUEST_SUCCESS (81)
SSH_MSG_REQUEST_FAILURE (82)
However section 5.1 refers to SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUEST_SUCCESS when it
should refer to SSH_MSG_REQUEST_SUCCESS.
So a typo.
But it does rais the question: should messages 81 and 82 be renamed
along the lines of:
SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUEST_SUCCESS
SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUEST_FAILURE
Since it looks like there was some partial attempt at that?
It would also make the names more consistent.
Something else I noticed, the TCP port forwarding doesn't allow port
zero to be specified, reserving that for "allocate a port automatically"
ala the sockets API.
So how about using 65536 to mean use port 0? OK - the sockets API won't
be able to handle it, but other APIs may.
