Hi Robin: Wendy B will follow with details, but yes, IP sockets are built into the design. The main reasons:
(1) Portability: desire not to restrict operation of service/deamon to Unix systems. (2) Shareability: with an IP socket - you can have one daemon shared across multiple DSpace clients on different hosts This is a big win when you run mulitple DSpace instances, since you only have to maintain one Clam instance with updates, etc. Thanks, Richard On Apr 11, 2011, at 10:47 AM, Robin Taylor wrote: > Hi all, > > I was just looking to save myself some investigation.
