Hi Brian, The only other place is cmsd where it wouldn't make sense to load the HTTP protocol. Yes, the cmsd can also run multiple protocols but there is no bridge there. Currently, xrootd and http are the only protocols but I could imagine http2 on the horizon as well. Who knows, maybe someone brave enough will want to add NFS4 :-) Oddly, I see you accept http at he xrootd port. I thought hat most http people dislike that and use he standard http port, 80. But that's a side issue.

If not, seems like we could keep it `xrootd`-specific until someone wants to write a new plugin. > > -- > You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. > Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: > https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/793 -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
