Bye, Frank Can I create "my own Dict-Serv" protocol? As a matter of fact, I thought about DictServ protocol sitting on my laptop and doing some work... after doing a lot work, it just came to my mind to see if anything exists. RFC was the last thing on my mind and the first response from Google. I was looking to SOAP-implementations and that's why you'd also see a mention of XML in the response formats. Or instead... I'd then go to W3C and ask for a standard SOAP-data-exchange-format for dictionary. However, it will be in SOAP (over HTTP to start with). -- Cheers, Gaurav Vaish http://www.mastergaurav.org http://mastergaurav.blogspot.com -------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
