Re: Beagle Web Interface ...

["Vijay KN" <knvijay novell com>]

Hi Joe,

The patch offers both a 'web interface' and a 'web service interface':
1. The web interface returns HTML output similar to what Best returns.
2. The web-service interface allows invoking Beagle using HTTP Get,
Post or SOAP/HTTP - so it is multi-purpose.  Using HTTP Get against this
web-service interface will get you Beagle results in standard XML form.
I guess you can use this interface to add the cool DHTML tricks you
mention. 

So, really you have both options open. 

regards
Vijay

Hi, I'm not that familiar with ASP.NET but it would be pretty easy to
make XML data out of the Beagle hit data right?  What I am getting at
is we might be able to add some pretty cool DHTML tricks to the web
interface if all it has to do is ask for some more XML.  Keep this in
mind as a possibility for your web interface.  And email me any
questions you might have.
