[Opensim-dev] so many dll's, so little time

[Stefan Andersson]

I'm with Michael on this one; even though it's only one call, it's one HELL of a nested call.

I'm certainly against us writing our own xml-rpc handler code, even just for that one login method. I know libsl went down  that route, and used the .net xml features to do there own handler and I don't think it worked out well. So I'm against rewriting the wheel.  And say that we stick with using a xml-rpc library.Sean Dague <sean at dague.net> wrote:

Are you proposing towrite your own XML-RPC implementation for login? XML-RPC is managedcode right, is there any reason that isn't intrinsically cross platformalready (or did I miss that part)?-Sean-- __________________________________________________________________Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valleysean at dague dot net Linux Users Grouphttp://dague.net http://mhvlug.orgThere is no silver bullet.
