JAGGRAB runs on port 43595.


This protocol was used as a fallback when a resource over HTTP was not available (due to a connection timeout or 404). It downloads the necessary BZip2 archives to bootstrap the client. They are stored in main_file_cache.idx0.
The remaining model, animation, midi, and map data is loaded [[On Demand Protocol|on demand in a separate protocol]].
== Basics ==
This protocol is essentially HTTP/0.9, see: https://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/AsImplemented.html
The main difference is the client closes the connection, not the server. If you close the connection from the server the client will trigger an exception.
