Subject: XRI resolution with barx
It's our pleasure to announce the first release of barx - a Ruby XRI resolution library and XRI proxy resolver. We believe that barx is the first implementation of the XRI 2.0 WD11 spec - it supports the entire spec as defined in ED06 <http:// www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/25741/xri-resolution-v2.0- wd-11-ed-06.pdf> with the exception of SAML trusted resolution. The proxy resolver is a fast HTTP server based on Mongrel <http:// mongrel.rubyforge.org/> and Merb <http://merb.rubyforge.org/files/ README.html> that can be run as a local service (on localhost:someport) to provide XRI resolution and caching for other applications such as OpenID relying parties, or as a scalable public service if desired. The API used by barx is also available as a standalone rubygem, and can be used to support the development of other applications, or to XRI-enable existing applications. The gem contains an examples directory with some examples of how the gem can be incorporated into other applications. The proxy server contains an example plugin that demonstrates how enable the resolution of alternative community roots. To install the gem (Ruby and rubygems required): gem install barx To download the proxy: <http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=4509> Project homepage: <http://xrisoft.org> Enjoy! =victor.grey and =kermit.snelson
