I am not sure if sending everything over HTTP is really such a good idea. It would be nice if it did not have unnecessary overhead and could integrate well with already build technology that is mainly used for remote configuration. Things like LDAP, WebDAV, DHCP/BOOTP and SNMP already have some of these qualities and allow you to configure/maintain things. If you allow reconfiguration via an HTTP request, then you start running into all sorts of race conditions. Your new configuration is going to effect your configuration update mechanism. I mean I do not use my vacuum cleaner to clean a vacuum cleaner. Dynamic configuration of something that is receiving this new configuration request seems unncessarily complex to me. -- Sander van Zoest [EMAIL PROTECTED] High Geek http://Sander.vanZoest.com/
