Hi Charles,
You raise good points below. The web services client wouldn't be
controlling the connection in the way that you envision. It would be
more of a message passing service (explaining why a connection failed,
rather than just showing up in the grid as some unexplained connection

Thanks for the response, Charles,

and the definition of what can be called an API. Especially in
the academic CS field.
To be predictable, i'll insert a link to wikipedia here :)

I don't understand what you are talking about. The management
interface
Thanks for the quick response,
I have been looking at the management interface as a tool for this API.
But I am new to OpenVPN, and I am not sure if it has all the essentials
at this stage to qualify as a full-blown interface, or if it is a tool
in development. I thought maybe I could be enlig
