On IRC today there was some discussion about how there should be a wayto tell clients when content is being streamed. This comes on the heelsof Mozz's post and demo of streaming, where he has an IRC-style chat onGemini.

Many of the current clients, such as Kristall, implement a timeout on theserver sending data, it's even part of the Egsam client test. It'd be niceto be able to know when data is being streamed or when it comes to end, forthings like downloads as well.
It was krixano on IRC who brought this all up and suggested a new 2x statuscode for this purpose. Maybe status 22, since 21 used to be for certs?
What do you think?
