What, exactly, gets uploaded as a completed WU?

[kencl]

I had a WU which would not upload for days (now successfully uploaded) so I made a copy of the entire FAHClient dir and was reading through some of the data files. That's just what coders do when they are told to stay home.

Is the data which is actually uploaded compressed either before upload or on the fly? I'm not finding any files which match the smaller upload size reported in the log.

I'd like to know exactly which file(s) is/are uploaded and what processing is done before they are transmitted because I see over 10% redundancy in the viewerFrame#.json files.

Thanks.

If you read the section of the log just after a WU reaches 100%, the client echoes that it is reading a series of files, those are packed up wit the wu data file. As I understand it, they are compressed before sending.

The downloaded WU is also compressed. Part of the logged messages in the client's log used to show the decompressed size, and the same for compressing the results. But that was removed form logging several versions ago.

At the completion of the WU, everything is packed into a single file that's created called wuresult_XX.dat which is uploaded to the server. Here's the log snippet showing that:
