Here's an example: in house we've built a few text based protocols between different vendor supplied services (credit card transactions is one example). It would help me if I could circulate this document around the company as a standard starting place for simple protocols. At least in my mind these are light weight, low to medium demand, very narrowly defined protocols that never used 95% of the features and overhead of HTTP much less CORBA, RMI or DCOM... -MM -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Mealling | Vote Libertarian! | www.rwhois.net/michael Sr. Research Engineer | www.ga.lp.org/gwinnett | ICQ#: 14198821 Network Solutions | www.lp.org | michaelm@netsol.com
