Protocol Buffers simply converts between structures and byte blobs; it says nothing about how they are transported. HTTP is just a transport; it says nothing about the content.

There are a few third parties developing implementations, listed here: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/wiki/RPCImplementations But we (Google) did not write these and cannot vouch for them. It should also be easy to integrate protocol buffers with any existing transport that works with arbitrary binary payloads -- just use protocol buffers to encode the payload. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
