Hi -

I'd like to pay people from a website "outside" of second life, but still have the money in Linden dollars go into their SL account. Is this possible or do I need to be in world in order to give peole money?

Tks, TB

Very possible and quite often done.
Your website would contact an inworld server object that you own that has debit permissions. The website would need to send the recipients key and the amount then the server would pay them using llGiveMoney.

how do you contact a inword item from out of world?

the only way i can think to do it you just have the inworld item llHttpRequest every 30 seconds or so and get the data from in from a page request?

or can you really send data from out, in?

Use XML-RPC or object-targetted emails.

You can send it email, which your object has to poll for using a timer event. Every object in SL has an email adress <object_key>@lsl.secondlife.com

Or you can use XMLPRC:

Just to let you know non SL emails have been very slow, like hours delay, in the past couple months. They are working ok now but I have some SL items that depend on outside emails which hasn't been fun.

One more quesetion ....

sorry - if I can connect to an object in Second Life and send money what type of security would be in place that would stop "anyone" from contacting that object ( using XML RPC ) and then using it also to send out money as well?

That is to say - using the XML RPC I'm not saying "who I am" - I just have the ID of the object - doesn't that mean that anyone would be able to do the same?

Tks, TB
