	When delivering inventory via the HTTP capability (see [[OpenSimulatorToViewerInventoryProtocol]] for more details), it is possible to make a different URL available rather than going directly through the simulator. One does this by replacing the Cap_FetchInventoryDescendents2 and Cap_FetchInventory2 parameters in the [ClientStack.LindenCaps] entries in OpenSim.ini. However, this is experimental - one should be making each capability URL given to a viewer unique (e.g. by emebedding a random URL) so that only the correct user can fetch their inventory data. One would also need to transfer the OpenSimulator code which produces the formatted LLSD for transfer to whatever server starts to serve this instead.
