Licensing Agent

[eparovyshnaya]

Licensing Agent is an http-server, that

• takes a ic.api.Passage-like request (simpl put: can I use a feature or not)
• runs the request against it's own Access Cycle
• responds via http according to the results

The idea is to license any application, even those who are not based on Eclipse or even Java.

An application under licensing communicates with the Agent via http, persists requests and parses responses with it's own facilities. Though, we are to offer basic dev components for key platforms (like node.js).

First LA impementaion should:

• serve 'canUse' request
• rely on the existing xml content type for payloads

Further:

• serve 'acquire' and 'release' requests
• support json payloads content type
