[Blocks-development] RE: blockd :: was "sup..."

[Michael D. C. <mi...@gi...>]

I agree...

I believe blocks should be a server...  like apache.  clients request
blocks...  the server gets them from the network, caches them, and dishes
them out to local clients.  The server also stores adverts.

There should be a clearly defined protocol...  like other TCP/IP services.
One should be able to write a "blocks protocol" RFC.  Server messages should
be standard, numbered, and cataloged.  like...  404 = block not found, 200 =
ok here it comes, etc...

People using blocks? thats scary :-)

I never had much interest in GUIs or useability. If I did start a Blocks2
I think I might go as far as an activeX control people could use to hack
up clients, or find someone interested on focussing on a seperate GUI
project rather than trying to do it myself.
