>>The people who are complaining are complaining because OpenSRS doesn't do "x" where "x" is their favorite thing.
I'm advocating for XML WEB Services because the OPENSRS system does not use ANY standards - it connects to a non standard port, communicates using a homegrown protocol that has encryption embedded into it. I think all developers on all platforms would benefit from the utilization of W3C protocols - HTTP, XML, SOAP, SSL, etc. This makes it easier for everybody to build clients that integrate into their environments and business practices. If you have to become a Crypto and TCPIP sockets guru to develop a non-Perl/PHP client, not many clients are going to be developed. >>>>because frankly, it doesn't matter. This matters to everyone who is integrating a domain business into their operations. It should matter most to Tucows, as they want their service to be available to the widest possible client base. >>The important point is this one: "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from."
