Web Services?

Charge monthly (or reduced lump sum for an annual commitment) fee for usage. Implement in Java (or PHP. Does it do SOAP?) instead of ASP. Easier to deploy on Linux or Windows as necessary. 1. Create Web Service 2. 3. Profit! -- Chris Altmann

I once made a "service" where an auction listing service spider picked up our auction data. It simply went to a certain URL and that returned an HTML (think XML) list of open auction items. One could send URL parameters. Something like: auction.com/exportdata/export1.asp?fromdate=12_12_2000&todate=04_15_2001 Use "post" instead of "get" for longer stuff. K.I.S.S.
