Actually, there's one piece of new design/development that needs to be
done carefully. When capability services are served from servers other
than the simulator, we need a mechanism for the simulators to create the
paths dynamically in those servers and then revocate those paths. This
needs to be done securely. Thoughts welcome.

I'm going to do this work on a branch called caps. This is mostly
refactoring, not new development; it can go through a few iterations
until we're all happy with the result.

Hi,
Caps as such are a a generic concept, they are not a Lindenism,
IMHO. Linden didn't invent them and I believe that the CAPS
mechanism as such should remain in the normal namespace.
The idea is generic; our implementation is not; it's full of
LL-specific things, like LLSD, and it is serving the Linden clients
specifically. Other uses of capabilities will probably look quite
different.
Also, modules already use CAPS, if CAPS were in the client stack,
they would be much harder to access,, since the client stack is
somewhat isolated from modules.
We can have modules in any dll. The proposal here is to move all
CAPs-related modules out of the core dlls, and have them in a Linden
dll, because they are designed to serve the Linden clients.
I believe that it should be possible to re-route caps to other
destinations, ROBUST or external servers, but not by moving all
handlers into the Servers namespace, that is not what it was meant
for. That would bloat and pollute it. This warrants more discussion.
I agree. We can place them in some other Server.Handlers-like dll.
How about OpenSim.Server.Capabilities.dll?
