The '''GridInfo protocol''' was suggested by [http://mjm.game-host.org/opensim:viewer:contents mana janus] to facilitate autoconfiguration of clients. With the GridInfo protocol a smart client only needs to have the URI of the user server or the standalone server and can then obtain parameters such as the welcome page, [http://www.thesiswritingservice.com/ thesis writers] the helper URI (for the economy subsystem), the name of the grid and other information automatically.

Retrieving the GridInfo is just a simple HTTP GET call to /get_grid_info on either the standalone server's URL or on the grid's user server:
<pre>% GET http://127.0.0.1:9000/get_grid_info | xml_pp
<gridinfo>
<login>http://127.0.0.1:9000/</login>
<gridname>the lost continent of hippo</gridname>
<mode>standalone</mode>
<register>http://127.0.0.1/register</register>
<platform>OpenSim</platform>
<help>http://127.0.0.1/help</help>
<about>http://127.0.0.1/about/</about>
<welcome>http://127.0.0.1/welcome</welcome>
<gridnick>hippogrid</gridnick>
<password>http://127.0.0.1/password</password>
<economy>http://127.0.0.1:9000/</economy>
</gridinfo>
</pre>
which was "generated" by the following [GridInfo] section:
<pre>[GridInfo]
; login uri
login = http://127.0.0.1:9000/
; login page
welcome = http://127.0.0.1/welcome
; helper uri
economy = http://127.0.0.1:9000/
; web page of grid
about = http://127.0.0.1/about/
; account creation
register = http://127.0.0.1/register
; help
help = http://127.0.0.1/help
; password help
password = http://127.0.0.1/password
; long grid name
gridname = "the lost continent of hippo"
; short grid name
gridnick = "hippogrid"
</pre>
Have a look at the option table in the [[OpenSim.ini]] section for all GridInfo options --- note, that you can add additional keys there, they are automatically included in the response.
