Re: [development] Web Service auth in Core, timeline.

(Nice meeting you again.) Likewise. See you in Vancouver in Feb? :)

We're currently in a feature freeze and therefore new functionality will have to wait for Drupal 4.8.

Shucks. I would like to revamp the web service system in 4.8/.9/whatever then. It seems strange to me to keep the xmlrpc.php file around since everything else is dynamic. I would like to see a layer that separates the web service protocol (XMLRPC, REST, SOAP, etc) from the functionality. I like how you can access flickr's api in a variety of different ways. Would like to see that in Drupal as well. Ben.
