Hi Crista,

I use the HTTP protocol when my agents "breed" (instantiate/create) entirely 
new agent users during runtime.  As you say, the code base hasn't changed in 
some time.  So, this feature of my individual-based model has been stable and 
predictable for some time.

As you may recall from previous conversations, I use the hypergrid 
configuration in a standalone form on a single machine (AKA serverless grid) 
with 16 simultaneous instances.

Do you anticipate that the changes you're making will impact legacy users like 
me and that I may loose the ability to create new users via the HTTP interface?

Best regards,

Chris

Subject: [Opensim-dev] Basic HTTP authentication
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi all,

I'm about to send up a patch that adds an optional Basic HTTP 
authentication to robust service connectors. This restores the very old 
"password" that existed in OpenSim a few years ago and that was removed. 
This time, it's done using the standard HTTP protocol. My patch uses a 
generic authentication object interface whose concrete class can be 
changed as needed. Right now there's only BasicHttpAuthentication class, 
but if someone wants to use something else, it should be easy to write 
another class that does something different.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Crista
