Hey, andrew --
Thanks for trying this out and giving feedback! Coil does have a lot of potential, but we need to test it out against a large set of real-world requirements :)
Of course :) I'm thinking I can find some good uses for it at work. It is currently geared towards configuration (and that's something I've got alot of use for), but what I think I have the most immediate use for is status reporting -- statistics like "served n requests", "been running since", "last packet from upstream data feed arrived at ... and had a timestamp of ...". The sort of configuration I'd want to do is basically what you appear to already have -- start component X listening on port 1234, and connect it to upstream server Y on 9876. I possibly also want to save configuration to the registry rather than to taps, but I think taps are a better idea. Say, is there anyway to do "offline" editing of the configuration held in a tap? -Andrew.
