GSoC 2013 "Cloud Ready" Project Specification¶

There are four subprojects:

1. http I/O support for Exiv2 (GSoC Student)
2. exiv2(.exe) to run as a service (daemon) on a web socket.
3. client-side use of the exiv2 service (using the web socket)
4. JSON support

This is quite a large project. Robin Mills intends to implement the daemon/web-socket support during Spring 2013. The GSoC student is expected to implement the http I/O support.

Expected results:
1) To deploy a webservice to provide Exiv2 service.
2) To provide a JavaScript library to enable developers use the Exiv2 service.

I've been a volunteer on the Exiv2 project for 5 years. I worked for Adobe for 10 years, where I implemented reading PDF and JDF files over http (without copying the complete file). I'm now a freelance contractor and I've been working on a mobile app which uses WebSockets. I've worked on both server and client code.
