Could somebody point me at some documentation for the existing protocol and requests? We addressed some of this in our patch server design by having those few dynamic queries that we support (offhand, I think there's only one) still look like a static query. It *could* be served by a static server in some cases. Most requests our server redirects to Akamai (after checking entitlement), but that one it processes locally. _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
