Just a idea, but would be nice.
at world server, you can only add registry.txt that is local, but if you
could use url as well, like www.myregistrydomain.com/registry.txt
and also, that a option where you can set world server to reload registry
like every hour, or 24 hour. or not at all.

it will open, possibility to create site, where users can upload own objects
to the path, and this objects can be written into the registry.

to explain what I would use this to:

to create a site, where register users, can have a account, where they can
upload exp. 2 mb of objects.
when user have upload a object, php script will generate new registry.txt.

I'm confused, but are you trying to say to have a local registry.txt for
each world, and/or one on the web?

I cant really get what your trying to say but an idea comes to me.. mind
rephrasing?

Well, one more try.

Today, registry can only be where the world server is.



If the world server support, that registry can be another place like a url.
And it also support reloads of registry, to set time.

You can then have registry, added to a Database, where, a php generates a
new registry.txt ( fwrite ), every time database get updated with new
objects from website.

This will give allot freedom, but also same time possibility to have an
object list at web that is always updated.



So long registry can only be at same place as the world server, this can't
be done

I understand what you're trying to get at, but you can already do this,
i'm pretty sure.

First, have your php script accept the upload of the object. Use the php
script to create a registry entry for that object, and add it to the
registry.txt file.

Then, have your php script call a small C++ program that does nothing
but connect to the server and reload the registry for the world in
question. (see http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/aw_server_world_change.htm)

This program would have to be run on the same physical machine the the
world server is running on, and I think the SDK functions require the
world server admin password, so you can only do it if you're also an
administrator (or the administrator sets up the program for you).

So, this doesn't have all the advantages you were looking for (remote
solution, most of it is still server-side); however, it does allow
anyone to go to a web page, upload an object, and how it insered and
loaded into the registry right away.

Regards,
Jeremy

Yup, have no problem with that, but as you said, this server inside, is the
problem, so my idea was if the world server support a external url for the
registry, it would help

Yes, i definitly agree with you and see your point.

If the SDK could be used to load a registry file from a URL, then this
process could be carried out completly from a remote webserver (using
the php script/c++ bot strategy).
