Web Services are a not-so-simple HTTP type job, but I do agree that a basic IP protocol would probably suffice, although this would mean coming up with one and getting people to agree on what it was and how it would package data.

I did think about this for a while and then I remembered that MP is an Open project and even if we created a new open protocol, people would wonder why not WS? Besides the performance reasons, I couldn't give myself any other explanation of why not

But hey, I love re-inventing the wheel, so count me in for a re-write!

[QUOTE="drfonz, post: 125092, member: 26014"] Web Services are a not-so-simple HTTP type job, but I do agree that a basic IP protocol would probably suffice, although this would mean coming up with one and getting people to agree on what it was and how it would package data. I did think about this for a while and then I remembered that MP is an Open project and even if we created a new open protocol, people would wonder why not WS? Besides the performance reasons, I couldn't give myself any other explanation of why not :) But hey, I love re-inventing the wheel, so count me in for a re-write! ;) AL [/QUOTE]
