<h2>The BOINC client/server protocol</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The core client communicates with scheduling servers using HTTP.
|
|
The form of the request is:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<scheduler_request>
|
|
<platform>intel-linux</platform>
|
|
<version_num>1</version_num>
|
|
... other elements
|
|
</scheduler_request>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
The "platform" and "version_num" elements identify the
|
|
version of the core client originating the request.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The form of the reply is:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<scheduler_reply>
|
|
[ <message priority="low"> arbitrary text </message> ... ]
|
|
[ <request_delay>3600</request_delay> ]
|
|
... other elements
|
|
</scheduler_reply>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The "message" element provides message for the core client.
|
|
If the priority is "high", the core client should do what it can
|
|
to ensure the the participant sees the message
|
|
(e.g., display it in a modal dialog).
|
|
This should be reserved for situations where definitive action
|
|
is required, e.g. the user must download a new version of the
|
|
core client in order to continue participating in this project.
|
|
If the priority is "low" (default) the core client should
|
|
allow the participant to see the message, but not require it;
|
|
e.g., by writing the message to a log file.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A reply message can contain multiple message elements.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The optional "request_delay" tag instructs the client
|
|
to not issue another request until the indicated number
|
|
of seconds has elapsed.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The above portion of the protocol should be considered immutable.
|
|
This will allow any version of the core client to talk to
|
|
any version of the scheduling server,
|
|
and for the server, if needed,
|
|
to tell the core client that it's hopelessly out of date.
|
|
The remaining protocol may evolve over time.
