This is my recent brainwave: Why not let objects open up XML-RPC streams to each other? Just make it available to objects, with the same kind of adress as emails. DoS attacks against objects could still exist, but it wouldn't threaten legal doom.
Up to this point, I haven't played around with XML-RPC, so I don't know all the details of how it works, but wouldn't this be acceptable? Also, the delays inherent in it could be virtually removed, due to the close proximity of servers. (Similar to how internal email is faster than external).
Comments? Rants? Braining?

Screw RPC, give me plain old HTTP GET/POST

Oh i dunno http sounds too technical, i like the current method, where you can send a short message by carrier pigeon, its a shame most people choose the hidden pigeon.

I'd be happy with a common memory pool my objects can all manipulate, even if it was same-sim only.
Long range communications should be an entirely different animal since they are crossing from server to server. Same-sim communications should be instantaneous and not restricted by size (only by sender and receiver's available memory).
How about universalizing a global variable to work between scripts in the same object?
There are many possibilities here.

I'd simply like llInstantMessage to work with object keys and maybe a new thingy like instant_message() implemented.
I'd really love to have object<->Object and not have it just limited to same sim, but grid wise.

From: Oz Spade I'd simply like llInstantMessage to work with object keys and maybe a new thingy like instant_message() implemented.
I'd really love to have object<->Object and not have it just limited to same sim, but grid wise. So would I, but I think this could probably be implemented in a much shorter timeframe. We already have the XML-RPC set up, except for initiating connections, and I'm assuming that it would require a (relatively) minimal amount of work to set up.
