- - Simple doesn't necessary mean less code, text-based rather than 'binary' protocols, etc. The fact that you can debug your protocol by looking at tcpdump traces should not influence your design too much.
Of course LDAP is a purely binary protocol, and some of us have made a nice living debugging the encoding/decoding code for it ;)
An available text-based variant (DSMLv2) has approximately zero deployment footprint.
OTOH the text based protocol argument worked well in the case of SOAP/XML-RPC. _______________________________________________ dix mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dix
