I was thinking of using named pipes for object invokation across processes (I assume
they exist on the non-Win32 platforms, but I obviously need to check this) for
protocol independence and speed. An XML-based interface (wrapper) could then be added
separetely for cross-machine invocation, where something like XML-RPC would be
appropriate (at least presently). I dont want to incur the overhead of having to go
through XML parsing and an HTTP server just do cross-process object accesses on one
machine - that would be too slow for my own purposes. How does that sound?
This also encroaches on SOAP territory and I've heard that there has been some SOAP
work done on Mozilla (whether just client-end I dont know) so if you know any
references to that then I'd be most grateful for pointers.
Cheers,
Chris
