 However, we can also configure GetTexture to be handled directly by a service instead via the public grid port.  The capability endpoint passed to the viewer then resolves directly to this service instead of the simulator, much like map tiles are provided directly by a service.

 In this case, we can see that the service has now served 139 requests.  Unfortunately, it's harder to check if the shell is being shared by multiple services on the same port - we do not currently register stats to show capabilities (though this should change in the future).

-When OpenSimulator is running in Hypergrid mode, we can't simply use the OpenSim.Services.AssetService with the GetTextureConnector as GetTexture may potentially request assets from the local asset service or any other foreign asset service.  Instead, we need to instantiate a copy of the HGAssetBroker from OpenSim.Region.CoreModules.dll.  This is currently only possible in the 'ghosts' development branch in the OpenSimulator repository, as of commit 0437d44 (post 0.8), although this will soon be in master development code.

	There is also scope to handle more requests directly. However, the only good known working example, as detailed here, is one to handle GetTexture requests directly from a service rather than via a simulator. More examples will be added in the future, though with some there are currently some significant security considerations to bear in mind.		There is also scope to handle more requests directly.
