title: Difference between stateless and stateful compression?
body: <p>In the chapter Filters (scroll down ~50%) in an <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/threads/Rcf_Ipc_For_Cpp.aspx" rel="nofollow">article</a> about the Remote Call Framework are mentioned 2 ways of compression:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>ZLib stateless compression</li>
  <li>ZLib stateful compression</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What is the difference between those? Is it ZLib-related or are these common compression methods?</p>
  
  <p>While searching I could only find stateful and stateless webservices. Aren't the attributes stateless/ful meant to describe the compression-method?</p>
