RE: AS2 implementation.

["Dick Brooks" <dick@xxxxxxxx>]

Santanu,

The AS2 changes coming out of the interoperability testing conducted by the
Drummond Group DO NOT affect the GISB profile within AS2.  In fact, there
are several Energy companies in New York and Pennsylvania that are
implementing AS2/GISB now. The implementations are based on the current AS2
draft.

Let me know if you would like to conduct interoperability testing on the
AS2/GISB profile. I've started discussions with a couple organizations that
expressed an interest in sponsoring the next set of AS2 interoperability
tests, which will be based on the AS2/GISB profile.

Hi,

We have a middleware product which uses HTTP as one of its comm agents, and
for secure EDI, we have been using GISB which we now need to upgrade towards
AS2.

We recently subscribed to the EDIINT mailing list and found that quite some
work have been already done in order to implement AS2. Now thats a rich
harvest, but we'd like someone to pitch in with a little help.

I have got the IETF draft with me (I guess there's no RFC yet), but looks
like we'll have to get hold of even a few more things. Can any of you guys
help me a little?


Also, looks like a few of you are discussing about changing the headers from
what is there in the draft, citing implementation and interoperability
issues. (AT&T guys are discussing testing, right?) So it turns out that
quite some work has already been done in this direction, and I won't like to
be missed out on that as well.

I'll appreciate every bit of cooperation. Right now, I just need to know how
much work has alerady been done towards implementting AS2, and how to go
about doing it.

Thanks,
Santanu.
