Hi Brian,<br>
<br>
The only other place is cmsd where it wouldn&#39;t make sense to load the HTTP <br>
protocol. Yes, the cmsd can also run multiple protocols but there is no <br>
bridge there. Currently, xrootd and http are the only protocols but I <br>
could imagine http2 on the horizon as well. Who knows, maybe someone brave <br>
enough will want to add NFS4 :-)<br>
<br>
Oddly, I see you accept http at he xrootd port. I thought hat most http <br>
people dislike that and use he standard http port, 80. But that&#39;s a side <br>
issue.<br>

&gt; We have this annoying configuration line:<br>

&gt; if exec xrootd<br>
&gt;    xrd.protocol http:1094 libXrdHttp.so<br>
&gt; fi<br>
&gt; ```<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; It&#39;s the only place where we have to use the `if exec xrootd` syntax <br>
and I would rather not expose it to the sysadmins if we don&#39;t have to.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Are there any cases where other daemons can use the protocol bridge? <br>
If not, seems like we could keep it `xrootd`-specific until someone wants <br>
to write a new plugin.<br>
