• .NET Development (In)Validate my reasoning

  Hi, I have a design concern that might be nicely solved by remoting, assuming my reasoning is right. Assume the standard situation: I have a (HTTP) server and many, many clients. Due to reasons outside of scope of this post, I expose the server in a REST-ful manner - the method calls' parameters get mapped to query parameters of the URL and the result is a custom binary format (but you can imagine the result to be an XML, it doesn't change much). Now I know I can hook up easily to the client and server side and provide my own formatter that will produce custom binary format on the server and consume it on the client. However, I do not wa ...Show All
