Bravo, this conversation is really heading in a good direction, tangents and all.
FWIW I think Mel holds the higher technical ground to answer Diva's questions most completely (with nods to Dahlia and others), and I think her suggestion perhaps presents the best solution to the problem of (more or less) universal resource identification: ) Cheers, James/Hiro SimHost.com On Aug 29, 2010 6:44 AM, "Melanie" <[email protected]> wrote: We should. Also, we should use extra info in the URI. Reson: http://www.avination.net:8004/user/44626b40-13d6-4817-b61b-de5df7b5e7e8 The above is totally meaningless. It can't be used to do anything with unless www.avination.net exists and points to a gatekeeper. However, http://www.avination.net/user/44626b40-13d6-4817-b61b-de5df7b5e7e8/Melanie+Milland makes more sense here. The URI itself provides a "Display name" that the resolver at that URL can treat as extra path info and ignore, if it chooses. This would allow us to create a temporary memory cache record of the UUID -> name mapping that would let us display a prim creator without a lookup, which is a potentially frequent process. The sim can take the URL at face value and diassemble it, using 44626b40-13d6-4817-b61b-de5df7b5e7e8 -> "Melanie [email protected]" for the cache and returning that to the viewer as the creator, all without a lookup. While this doesn't prevent verification of stale URI's from failing, it does allow to display a meaningful text if that happens.
