Lennie,
"Did you really mean SMTP when you talked about ASN.1 ?"
"Maybe you meant SNMP ?"
Sometimes I'm baffled at how I write the wrong thing sometimes. Yes I wrote an SNMP client for a legacy DOS system using pascal. And I found ASN difficult to use from such a statically structured language.
I haven't read anything indicating HTTP would become binary, but if it were to be I think a simple binary name/value container would do fairly well without much trouble.
