Wow - the only traffic jam seems to be in my in-box! My this mailing list has gotten popular! I tend to agree with the arguments against a minimal protocol such as WebSockets: +1: there's nothing wrong using existing libraries for things like HTTP, XML, UTF-8, etc... +1: inexperienced programmers are going to code to an API like CGI, not write the whole server +1: you can make a good, easy to use API even for a rich protocol: to wit: CGI +1: if the protocol is too minimal, the commonly used stuff will be implemented up the stack, which means: a) it will be non-interoperable and b)the infrastructure will not be able to interact with it Other things I noticed: - HTTP over SCTP *does* seem interesting. It might be nice to separate out the channeling and asynchrony from the bi-directionality. Now if we could do that, and have a fall back for today (not much SCTP in stock OSes...)... that is an interesting direction... - Tunneling through existing firewall and proxy constraints seems to keep rearing its head. This feels to me like a separate concern: We should design what we think is useful, expect that in a few years firewalls and proxies will adapt, *and* design a pure HTTP fallback that will allow us to "get on with it" today. - Mark Mark Lentczner Sr. Systems Architect Technology Integration Linden Lab markl@lindenlab.com Zero Linden zero.linden@secondlife.com
