Can WB work with Brotli Compression with strings? No immediate need, just a question.

Brotli is a typically good Google creation mostly used for compression of web pages and other web based download activity. I added to an in-house extender at one point but it never proved particularly useful. I am sure you can PowerWhatever your way to success if the need ever arises.

I do know that there is an exploit floating around for some implementations of Brotli. This forum has been patched for that problem.

Speaking of exploits, this forum is PHP-based but not vulnerable to the latest AI-discovered PHP vulnerability. It was a concern because, once a fix is issued, bad actors can reverse-engineer it to figure out how to exploit the vulnerability.

Yeah, agreed just was asked by old client who loads web content basically related to their business. Asked if they could create it, would their WB script/EXE's be able to transport it. Sure, PS has cmdlets to handle Brotli but doesn't answer their WB question. Personally a moot point, surprised you haven't been asked if WB does AI

I thought I did answer the question and I am not aware of any users asking about WinBatch supporting AI in some fashion. The AI questions have been related to LLMs not being able to write WIL scripts. However, I have found that not to be entirely the case. It is just a question of which LLM you target with the right tokens; Otherwise, you get the phantom function problem.

Should add that this likely a way to create a .Net standard Brotli application that is callable from WIL but it seems more work that it's worth. Of course, a user could always create their own Brotli extender. I would rather throw some bratwurst on the grill. Add some real German sauerkraut and German mustard on a French bread hoagie for a nice meal (and hope the PCP doesn't hear about it.)
