Sounds like you mean, 'Non-HTTP Networking'. I don't think so -- SMTP, FTP, NNTP, and telnet have nothing to do with HTTP, but they're certainly Internet protocols. --amk ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Sure, but there's typically only one protocol that's carried over any of them. Whereas with REST and XML-RPC and so forth, there's a whole cottage industry of using HTTP as a carrier, in much the same way that TCP is used at a lower level. But you're right: there's Networking / Generic Support, Networking / Specific Protocols, and Networking / HTTP-based, or some such.

Perhaps we need a split between networking technologies and network-based applications. regards Steve -- Steve Holden+1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I certainly see HTTP as being on the same layer as SMTP and the like, but application protocols that ride on top of HTTP are a different beast. -Fred -- Fred Drake fdrake at acm.org ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
