Hi all,
I am slogging away trying to get my Perl interface for GIFT to work properly,
and making many changes to CFeedbackClient as I do so. Since the PHP demo in
Geneva works fine with my server, I am doing some reverse engineering by
looking at what it sends.
First, I have noticed that it sends a "configure-session" element as part of
every query. Is this actually required? (I have a suspicion that algorithms
other than the adefault are not configured in the server if this doesn't
happen).
Secondly, (for example) it sends:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?><!DOCTYPE mrml SYSTEM
"http://isrpc85.epfl.ch/Charmer/code/mrml.dtd"><mrml session-id="6">
<configure-session session-id="6">
<algorithm algorithm-id="a-dms3" algorithm-type="a-dms3"
collection-id="c-12-12-11-12-6-101-4-192-0" >
</algorithm>
</configure-session>
<query-step session-id="6" result-size="10"
result-cutoff="0.0" collection="c-12-12-11-12-6-101-4-192-0"
algorithm-id="a-dms3">
<mpeg-7-qbe></mpeg-7-qbe>
<user-relevance-element-list>
Note that inside the "algorithm" element the attribute name is "collection-id",
whereas in "query-step" it is "collection". Is this intentional or necessary?
It seems like a potential source of confusion to me...
Cheers,
David
