The purpose of my suggesting this is so that on HG TP into a
region, the Destination Guide URL in the viewer can be switched to
one for that grid, so that when you go to another grid, you can
see their guide instead of your grid's guide (which your viewer is
configured with when you log in. This provides an easy, built-in
way for grids to tell you about their points of interest.<br>
<br>
Personally, I think this should stay a grid-level value, that
regions shouldn't be able to override, as then they would/could
usurp the grid's guide. Others had a different opinion.<br>
<br>
Sending it to the region then up via the extras, seemed the right
way to do this as this is an optional setting and we already send
some optional things up to the viewer this way. LiruCookies and
lkalif are already/about to implement the viewer side of this,
expecting destination-guide-url to be sent up via the extras.<br>

BlueWall,<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]. I have a number of
questions/points.<br>
<br>
1. Can't this be part of GridInfo? Why do we need another
service for this?<br>
<br>
2. Why is the Robust side config named
[SimulatorExtraFeatures]? This makes it a pain to get a
uniform config story for standalone as well as grid. 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. What is the purpose of the region_override config value?
If regions did want different values for extra features
then it would be trivial for them to workaround this. 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. 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.).
Can't we use HTTP query for this like many of the existing
services? [2]<br>
