>>Your statement "it matters to everyone who is integrating a domain business into their operations..." is just exactly that.
OK I'll cop to an over-generalization. >>You aren't addressing what you perceive as an impossible flaw in the technology. You are putting words in my mouth - I'm using the PERL client on Windows right now and it works OK. >>To extend your argument, no one can use any port for any purpose -- we have to stick to a few well-known ports. OpenSRS is doomed to failure because they don't do TLS on port 80, or SSL on port 443. Ditto previous response. If you want to run a webserver on 55678 - go ahead. Try getting that through a firewall. >> and while a number of folks were complaining about how difficult that was, Eric Longman (along with a number of contributors) ignored them and produced a document that explains exactly how to make the client work, and included the necessary modules so they could be easily installed in PPM. Without which I'd have been unable to install and run the PERL client on Windows. >>Sadly, this isn't really a developers-list anymore, it's more of a place where people can complain about how Tucows did everything wrong and therefore in danger of becoming irrelevant. Seems to me you have misinterpreted my intentions. I am attempting to steer future developments toward existing Internet standards. List members seem mostly in favor of such a direction(at least today!), so I'm not in the minority here. >>We have integrated domain registration into our business. It's working nicely, thank you very much. Good for you, however, anecdotal evidence does not dissuade me from advocating for XML Web Services as the direction for OPENSRS services. Get your last shots in if you must, I'm done with this thread.
