Hi David,

How did you get on with file transfers over AMQP? Did it work out, or
have you switched to something else?

This sounds very interesting! Are there any further details available?
Would support for this style of encryption be a useful addition to
RabbitMQ? Does it require cooperation from the broker, or is it a
decentralised, peer-to-peer style thing? (with Bob Frankston-style
innovation-at-the-edge)
