Re: HTTPAPI vs ISockets
I use HTTPAPI every day in a production environment. The code is
solid, easy to work with, free, and efficient. Scott provides good
support for what's basically a hobby, and there's a developing
community for the project. This is truly open source, which IMO can be
a major factor in platform/OS adoption.
