Hi,
I am trying to establish an SRU connection with perl using the ZOOM API
(http://zoom.z3950.org/api/). CPAN module Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.20 says that
the class
ZOOM::Connection
"represents a connection to an information retrieval server, using an IR
protocol such as ANSI/NISO Z39.50, SRW (the Search/Retrieve Webservice),
SRU (the Search/Retrieve URL) or OpenSearch."
But the sources look like only Z39.50 has been implemented so far.
Moreover the documented method to define the connection
[scheme:]host[:port][/databaseName]
does not seem to fit for SRU because in SRU you don't have a
"databaseName" but a full path - for instance in
http://herbie.bl.uk:9080/cgi-bin/blils.cgi
what's the databaseName?
Anyhow - What's the status of ZOOM? Will there be support for SRU and
OpenSearch (the latter can be implemented by wrapping WWW::OpenSearch)
or will ZOOM stay limited to Z39.50?
Greetings,
Jakob
