A SOAP (or XML-RPC, which is way more simple) adapter would be useful as the infamous client protocol since we don't have to write a client protocol, just expose an API. For node communication, though, I fear it would be too slow. Port 80 tunneling doesn't usually require the protocol be XML, so any form of HTTP encapsulation should be fine, in which case I would recommend that we just use FNP over HTTP. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://www.uprizer.com/mailman/listinfo/devl
