Folks, Repost of serdev post from Jan a while back: g-) Some time ago I announced new management interface which was described here: http://www.iptel.org/ser/ser_rpc.xhtml I just wanted to let you know that I will start commiting the changes shortly. I apologize in advance if HEAD temporarily does not compile. After discussions with Andrei, Juha and others I decided to keep FIFO and UNIX socket interfaces, but I reimplemented them as modules. That means administrators can load only the one that they need (or all of them if necessary). - fifo module will implement very simple (plaintext, readable) interface to SER, which is easily accessible from any shell script and very easy to use and read (although the format of messages with change a bit). - The purpose of unixsock interface will be to provide very efficient and fast interface. This is mainly intended for the communication with SEMS and other bandwidth-intensive applications. Most likely the underlying protocol of the unix socket interface will change too -- we have been thinking about fast and efficient binary encoding (suggestions are welcome). - xmlrpc module will provide XML-RPC based interface to SER. This interface will provide type-rich interface on top of TCP/IP. This module will provide remote management interface to SER with the possibility to use TLS for encryption, HTTP digest for authentication and authentication in the configuration script. XML-RPC is not very efficient but is is extremely easy to use from almost any language.
