[Opensim-dev] Inventory REST in OpenSim 0.7

[Diva Canto]

The simulator-bound REST API for inventory and other resources is from a 
time when it wasn't clear what the simulator was supposed to do, and how 
the different configurations (standalone, grid, etc) would play out. 
That API is not used at all for normal function of a virtual world.

If you want to manipulate inventory you should be looking at developing 
a dll that *uses* OpenSim.Services.Inventory in whatever other ways you 
like. Then if you want those features to be available from the outside 
(e.g. web) you need handlers similar to those in
OpenSim.Server.Handlers.Inventory
