Current Sim Capabilities

Introduction

In the current protocols, there appear to be at least 2 kinds of capabilities: Sim capabilities and Sub-Capabilities obtained from the Sim Capability. The current login protocols return a "seed-capability" which is actually the Sim-Capability of the sim the avatar enters upon performing a full login. This will change with the new login protocols.

Accessing Capabilities

A typical capability is of the form: https://sim1234.agni.lindenlab.com:12345/cap/UUID

In the current client, all capabilities appear to be accessed the same way, via an https request of the form:

https request {POST, URL:port, path, body, header}

where

• URL:port is of the form: sim1234.agni.lindenlab.com:12345;

• path is of the form: /cap/UUID;

• body is an xml-encoded LLSD array of the form: <llsd><array><string>request1</string><string>request2</string></array></llsd>

• Header is of the form: "content-type": "application/xml";

The response from a sim capability transaction is an xml-encoded LLSD dictionary with key, value pairs in the form:

• <llsd><map><key>request1</key><string>Capability1</string><key>request2</key><string>Capability2</string</map></llsd>
