SOAP might provide a nice solution, but I can think of three potential problems with using SOAP:
1) It would require me to learn a new language... I know VERY little about SOAP and almost as little about XML (unfortunately learning new languages isn't in my schedule for the next month or so). 2) Using SOAP presumes that the ISP has a server which is running or is capable of installing a SOAP engine. 3) Using SOAP would require that I develop a platform independent backend server process to handle the inbound and outbound SOAP messages. I'd be interested to hear how many ISPs currently use SOAP and of those that don't how many would be willing/wanting to install a SOAP engine for purposes of server side message processing. - Larry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Langseth Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2008 7:38 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] FW: [WISP] Internet Monitor - new release posted How about a SOAP interface rather than email? That would be a decent way to distribute custom updates, config options and send the results.
