jfc,
We are talking about two different things here. You are
talking about directing application messages to appropriate callout
servers. I am talking about [re]directing application messages to
different data consumers.
For example, an HTTP request for www.w3c.com can be redirected (by the
callout server manipulations of HTTP headers and meta-information) to
www.w3.org. Another example: an e-mail to managers(_at_)example(_dot_)com can be
redirected (by the callout server manipulations of SMTP headers and
meta-information) to ceo(_at_)example(_dot_)com _and_ to
officers(_at_)example(_dot_)com
(producing two application messages).
Oh! sorry. Just followed my own idea and I did not make it clear enough
about transaction/cession. I do not make any difference between OPES
processor and server and possibly clients. See my other mail. I consider
dispatchers and services. I responded about the server changing or additing
direction as simpler.
I am only cautious about telling I do want support your both cases, because
I do not know which loop control you may have been discussed already. Also,
I am glad you want to support smtp I was rebuked not to consider http only.
Let assume that www.w3c.com says to redirect calls to www.w3.org and that
www.w3.org says to redirect calls to www.w3c.com. What happens?
But I certainly want that that type of service (I am not really familliar
with Internet protocols): is there a trick to achieve that today?
- I would love it for an application
- it would be a good case to say that OPES would make it a service rather
than a trick.
My understanding of the client as part of the OPES system is because the
client may interact with the OPES server. That traffic must be left open by
the OPES processor and it muts have top priority.
Example: in this redirection case, the callout server sends back a question
to the client: "this call will be rerouted are you OK?". The OPES may also
be a gateway asking for an ID/password. Or a make a translation in an other
language and to need some more information to perform (ex. the meaning of a
word in a menu).
Thank you.
