This thought just occured to me: why not generalize the message relaying
that Talkative does a little bit, into general proxy objects. These
could be used (in combination with the object factory) to get around
firewalls, or for any case where you want to redirect the data flow
(maybe to concentrate bandwidth on the server rather than in clients).
Any message sent to the proxy would simply be resent (unchanged?) to the
target or multiple targets of the proxy.
Does this make sense?
Sort of. I've had similar ideas. It's not quite that simple though.
The point of a proxy in VOS would be to make the message seem as if it is
coming from a different vobject (the proxy) than the one from which it
actually originated. Unless the proxy redirects all messages sent to it
to a specific other vobject, the messages it receives would need some sort
of "envelope" which specified where the message should be redirected to.
There's also the issue of access control.
Probably wouldn't be that hard, but I'm not sure what we would use this
capability for...?
