Recent developments since the last workshop

DAS writeback, DAS search, Registry CRUD via web service (get, post, put, delete), Registry supports JSON for all requests and responses,

Suggestions for discussions on Developers Day

  • JSON roll out to other servers and clients? (jw)
  • Firming up of the authentication DAS standard so the registry and writeback are consistent (jw)
  • Add support for conditional get (If-Modified-Since - reply only if modified since the modified since header) ? (jw)
