<br>
I see you added this service to master today which appears to allow simulators to fetch 'extra' information about OpenSimulator features at runtime [1]. Â I have a number of questions/points.<br>
<br>
1. Â Can't this be part of GridInfo? Â Why do we need another service for this?<br>
<br>
2. Â Why is the Robust side config named [SimulatorExtraFeatures]? Â This makes it a pain to get a uniform config story for standalone as well as grid. Â Can't it also be [SimulatorFeatures] so that standalone doesn't need another seemingly identical section if it needs to get this config?<br>
<br>
3. Â What is the purpose of the region_override config value? Â If regions did want different values for extra features then it would be trivial for them to workaround this. Â If these really do need to be unique to the grid, then I think they should really be fetched by the viewer directly from the service and not via the SimulatorFeatures capability, as many of these are not really simulator features but grid-wide.<br>
<br>
4. Â I know Json RPC was already used for profiles, but it's getting to be a real pain when services keep using different access methods (REST, HTTP query parameters, RPC, etc.). Â Can't we use HTTP query for this like many of the existing services? [2]<br>
