[eoxserver-dev] RFC 10 "SOAP Proxy" - starting implementation.

[Novacek, Milan]

Hi All,
  I'm planning to put the soap_proxy into the eoxserver/soap_proxy svn this week, as the implementation of RFC 10.
Initially I'll just transfer the existing code from the o3s project, but at some point we should discuss further integration with eoxserver.
In particular, during the code sprint we raised the question of communication with the 'back-end'.
For now, the 'back-end' is mapserver, and it is invoked by means of fork/exec, with data being passed through pipes.
The question is should we invoke eoxserver instead - and instead of fork/exec should we just POST the output to a URL?  In practice the URL would in most cases be configured to be a localhost:eoxeserver instance.
