[vwrap] Networked Communication of Objects: some thoughts

["L. Christopher Bird" <[e-mail]>]

Before we turn off the lights...

I have recently written a paper Entitled Networked Communication of Second
Life® Objects using LSL, php, and MySQL. And it can be found at
http://flynnos.org/Networked%20Communication%20of%20Second%20Life%20Objects.pdfIts
short so I will wait while you read it.

So this got me to thinking, though my application is specific to Second
Life, there is no reason that communication between objects in various grids
with non-persistent URLs could not be obtained with a simple extension to
this method.  Though my method specifically uses the LSL HTTP server (which
I believe up to this point is not reproduced in the OpenSimulator LSL clone)
any object in any virtual space that can send and receive HTTP requests
should be able to join in one of the networks described in the paper.

The best part is that this is built on existing standards and all that is
needed  in any virtual world to implement something like this is an HTTP
channel to your virtual object.

Thoughts? Criticisms? Comments?
