Re: http gateway, was Re: Something interesting for 4.33

In my application, I have a number of low bit-rate commands defined 
going from the client to the host (using Pyros which really simplifies 
the connection and has been robust); each command is a single ascii 
line, with the first word identifying the command, and everything else 
following. Each command also has a return string. Some of the commands 
involve sending python objects back and forth (which usually goes into 
global modules on either the client or server - eg. set a dictionary 
value on server or get a dictionary value from server), so these are 
part of the "everything else" and are converted to ascii using yaml. I 
also use yaml extensively to define how to populate my GUI's (actually 
just the GUI's at the bottom two levels for now - one on the server, and 
one on the client - there is a third top-level user-interface GUI on the 
clients that is fixed layout), yaml specifies both the number of widgets 
and default values for widgets to simplify porting to different 
applications; in this case, yaml's readability is nice as I create these 
files using an editor with cut and paste; for the former use, any 
serializer that goes to ascii is fine. I have not used serpent, and am 
quite familiar with yaml which I really like, hence my bias.
