lamy Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 was wondering if id make an API for our vending machine application (connected to the internet), currently we send request and read response directly to our database, for the revamp we would want to make it more secure, but cant decide what to do, was thinking of doing an httpwebrequest or our page (ssl), but we could also do an API (server-client) to make such request/response... which one do you think is faster or is there any other way?

Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted March 7, 2006 Administrators Posted March 7, 2006 Have you considered web services as a way of implementing this API? They use http(s) as an underlying mechanism and data is transfered as XML. .Net gives some very nice tools for working with web services and are well worth investigating.
