varlink URL standard is gone #25

Closed tyll closed 4 years ago

tyll commented 4 years ago

The README points to https://github.com/varlink/documentation/wiki#address for the varlink URL standard. This points only the homepage. The homepage does not seem to contain details about the URL standard. https://github.com/varlink/varlink.github.io/wiki/Home/f6dc2d249d848a4b18a88b6c2caecec6621968f2#address seems to be the old content and it mentions exec:... addresses but they are not mentioned here in the tests.

Does python-varlink support implementing exec:.. varlink services?

Ok, will fix it to point to https://varlink.org/#address

Only tcp: and unix: are currently implemented.

exec: and ssh: are mostly for the varlink-cli tool or internally for a varlink system proxy daemon. They can be implemented also with the library.

See the C or rust implementations for more sophisticated usage of exec: and ssh:
