Great, but give him that not-so-public address. Otherwise his mail could be missed in all that spam

It's part of his mangos management suite: http://game-trac.fragfrog.nl/browser/source/server/src/mangos/SoapInterface.java

Excellent, it has been committed to both master and mangos-0.12

The SV semaphore is only available under posix systems, please check if it works with only that patch applied: http://gist.github.com/317824

Maybe semaphores are bugged under windows, please check if the problem persists with this hackfix: http://gist.github.com/317778 Btw, are you using a 64bit version of windows 2003?

I couldn't reproduce that problem under linux with mangos-0.12 at a208fd2a8264b1142cac0249dc9be064955cc7c6. What OS do you use?

It has been fixed before committing, there is no need to do anything if you use the mangos master branch

Thanks for testing Maik, the output is the command specific return value. The announce command simply lacks of this - in contrast to "server info" or "lookup item". It's always the text a GM char would see ingame

You're right UnkleNuke, the first 3 post originated from the same IP address

Thanks, I've added that patch in e2f8686b37ab9cef9773f1a6a91a0190992c9344

Derex has pointed out that there was an issue with more than 1024 connected players. It has been fixed in MaNGOS_soap_patch_2010_02_23_00_31_55.diff, huge thanks for that

While the telnet interface is clearly a better approach than the database as IPC antipattern, it has some limitations. Currently only one user is allowed to login, which can become a problem for crowded websites. Some form of queuing is needed serverside. Another issue is the missing specification; you can hardly say if an output of a command ended or if other lines will follow, which makes automated use of the telnet interface difficult. In order to eliminate these restrictions, I started to implement a SOAP interface. After authenticating, you will send your commands encapsulate in a SOAP request. You will either receive a success message or a SOAP fault message. Handling things with this will be far more easy, expect a fiveliner in php It's in an early state of development, but if you're interested you might want to have a look at it: http://github.com/arrai/mangos/commits/mangossoap

Mangosd, realmd and mysqld (with mangos tables) on Quad Core httpd and another mysqld(with http related databases as forum, dynamic page content etc.) on core2duo

No, this information is exported to the vmaps but currently not used. I started by making vmap_exporter linux compatible, but I hibernated that project due to a lack of time
