The waveprotocol website documents a new 'client-server protocol' [0], which (in my understanding) isn't quite what the WIAB project currently implements. There is a partial documentation of the currently used protoclol linked from that page.[1]
This protocol is currently used over the websocket connection, after wrapping the protobufs in a JSON class (to record the data type of the serialized protobuf is, and to provide an idea of sequencing). IMO, the protocol should be extended to allow sending the search request/responses over rather than using a HTTP-based side-channel for searching. (Which is currently client-based polling, but websockets would allow the server to 'push' it). The client-server protocol could also do with defining an authentication mechanism (currently left up to the implementors) so that multiple implementations can agree on authenticating. (Some notes here [2], but nothing specific) Ali [0]: http://www.waveprotocol.org/protocol/design-proposals/clientserver-protocol [1]: https://wave-protocol.googlecode.com/hg/whitepapers/client-server-protocol/client-server-protocol.html [2]: http://www.waveprotocol.org/protocol/design-proposals/authentication On 27 Oct 2012 01:51, "Thomas Wrobel" <darkfl...@gmail.com> wrote: > I can only point somewhat to the Kune guys work.
