Subject: RE: [xri] Our Best Friend Phil Windley!


FYI … to ask the proxy resolver to return back the XRDS for an XRI you use this command.

 

http://xri.net/=les?_xrd_r=application/xrds%2bxml

 

Simply replace =les with whatever iname or inumber you want.

 

The providerId is the provider of some XRD or Service.  Anytime you query the GRS the provider id at that level will be the appropriate GCS character.  In the example above it is xri://=.   You will notice in my XRDS the provider id for my services are null.  They are not required.

Wouldn't one of the XRI's found in the XRD resulting from  resolving (or discovering) =windley would be the i-number?

If you sell =windley then the i-number will change, so that is detectable.

 

Also I am not sure what role, if any, provider id plays.

In his blog, Phil said, "Further, i-names are not reassignable (unlike domain names), so when you contact the person at =windley, you know it's me, not just the next guy to pick up the name when I let it expire." I think is not correct.

 

And, if I sell my iname to someone, and give them the password, how would 2IDI ever even know that event has happened?

Your password will not work for the new person.  The reason is that you can sell your name but you cannot sell your inumber.  The inumber is persistent and will *never* be reassigned to another person.

I never considered my i-name to be permanent. Is Phil correct about that? What if I just sell my i-name to someone else and tell them the password?

This is the best endorsement of INames and XRI we’ve had in a while.

 

I’m even more appreciative of the public comments from Phil given the fact that he was one of the folks in the IIW “Creative Uses of INames” that was raising issues about how hard it was to experiment and play with INames as an end user or developer. This in turn prompted me to write my a blog entry about “The Thrill of the Hack”:  http://blog.wachob.com/2006/12/the_thrill_of_t.html in which I take a self-critical view of the developer-community outreach by the INames (and XRI) community.

 

So again, thanks Phil for keeping the XRI torch burning while also keeping our feet to the fire!!!
