[Opensim-dev] Separation of HTTP interface from HTTP server

[Alan M Webb]

Well I know about the work that is being done on OSHttpServer, and the 
shift to an interface would serve to enable that work, rather than 
conflict with it. How is OSHttpServer going to be integrated while the 
code base explicitly refers to BaseHttpServer everywhere? I have my own 
reasons for wanting to be able to play with alternative servers (such as 
apache), the interface would allow me to do that, and would not require me 
to wait until a particular alternative HTTP server is made available.

Best regards

Uhh. Somebody's already working on that, I think - we have the 
OSHttpServer or something like that.

Hi 

It occurred to me that while OpenSim generally demonstrates a commitment 
to the idea of using interfaces to facilitate a choice of service 
implementations, we don't actually do this in the case of the HTTP server. 
We have a single implementation - BaseHttpServer - and that is directly 
referenced through out the tree. 

I'd be happy to create an IHTTPServer class and make all of the code 
changes necessary to fix that, and prepare for a second phase where the 
actual server being used could be an initialization choice. Does anybody 
object? Is there a compelling reson why the HTTP server is not already 
isolated in this way? 

Best regards
Alan
