Hi - I've written a paper on "Future directions in web architecture" that might be of interest to people on these list(s). Since I'm thinking about submitting it as an informational RFC, I'd like to get some feedback. Here's its abstract:
Differentiates between connection-oriented and data-oriented networking, identifies the advantages of data-oriented networks, argues that Internet web architecture is becoming more data-oriented, and suggests ways of encouraging and accelerating this trend. Points out the need for caching dynamic web sites, and the inadequacy of present caching technology for anything but static sites. Proposes the adoption of Java servlets, cryptographically signed Web Application Archives (WARs), and Gnutella as standards for dynamic web caching The full paper can be found at this URL: http://www.freesoft.org/Essays/webarch/ If you take the time to read it, please let me know what you think. -- -bwb Brent Baccala [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
