Personally, I think that the nice API OpenSRS provides for us is
vastly superior to some cheesy HTTP-based hack. Please don't talk
them into such a thing. :-)
It's funny that you used the word "proprietary", which means "used,
made, or marketed by one having the exclusive legal right". The
OpenSRS API is not proprietary, whereas the Cold Fusion you mentioned
is. If that tool is inadequate, the simple solution is to get better
tools.
The only thing OpenSRS did that has an inhibitory effect on using
other languages was the Perl-based crypto module they chose for
convenience. The specific details are a little weird and arbitrary,
but the underlying DES and Blowfish algorithms in no way belong to
Perl alone.

Besides, Perl is the best programming language.
