[Koha-devel] RFC: /svc/ API

[David Cook]

Ah, right you are, Galen. It does use a socket. Yeah, that should be trivial to update connexion_import_daemon.pl.

None of our folks use OCLC, but that's good to know.

Going back to my earlier email, MarcEdit would probably benefit from a richer Koha API as well.

Also +1 to a versioned API.

I don't believe it matters as far as Connexion is concerned, as it only talks to connexion_import_daemon.pl via a raw socket.

MarcEdit is one program I know that uses the current API to inject records into a Koha database.
