Talk:LSL Protocol/Restrained Love Open Relay Group/simwide

I have an alternate suggestion.

Instead of doing something like !x-simwide|@getstuff=1234, (whose answer should be listened for on a new listener on channel 1234), why not go for !x-forward/getstuff, which the relay would answer on the relay channel (or whatever mean of communication was negociated before between relay and furniture)?

Typical conversation

C -> R: outfit_query,!x-forward/getoutfit
C <- R: outfit_query,!x-forward/getoutfit,110010011111

I believe my approach is more versatile (works whatever is the actual communication type) and easier to use (no need to listen to another channel).

What do you think?

Of course, the choice of the actual channel between viewer and relay would be up to the relay's implementation. One could even imagine that the viewer does not use chat channels at all (have you seen the new firestorm LSL bridge? Communication from viewer to bridge uses LSL http-in capabilities instead of channel chat. If that bridge eventually included a RLV relay, it could make use of such means of communication.)
