Talk:OBject EXchange

[untitled][edit]

So how can one connect SyncML (eg. jsync4) and (Open)OBEX?

As far as I know, SyncML runs over HTTP. OBEX runs over Bluetooth, IR, serial or USB cable.

A lot of the links on the buttom of the page seem like spam links, and should be removed. --Voidvector 19:51, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How to add in the disambiguition that obex is also an anatomic part of the brain?

So really OBEX is nothing like HTTP? It's another protocol altogether. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.9.146.69 (talk) 23:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why it's being compared to HTTP. It's not stateless, it's not binary. How is it similar? kasajian

Since OPP / Object Push Profile is redirected here, shouldn't we mention it in the article? kasajian —Preceding comment was added at 16:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HTTP keep-alive[edit]

From the article:

HTTP transactions are inherently stateless; generally a HTTP client opens a connection, makes a single request, receives its response, and closes the connection. In OBEX, a single transport connection may bear many related operations.

I thought HTTP had keep-alive for this. How does OBEX keep-alive go beyond that of HTTP? --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 23:01, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HTTP keep-alive is used to avoid excessive open/close connection for a given server but does not guarantee that a single open-close will represent all request/response in a session. HTTP is based on the request-response pattern and includes no defined way of tying these to a single session. Cookies or URL query parameters are generally used for that in modern session-base web applications. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.147.215 (talk) 19:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
