Hi everyone,

I have started looking into support for service invocation over HTTP. Unlike our existing HTTP upgrade support this will map EJB requests/responses directly to HTTP requests and responses, which should allow it to be used behind existing load balancers.

I have started an initial description of the protocol at: https://github.com/stuartwdouglas/wildfly-http-client/blob/master/docs/wire-spec-v1.asciidoc

The intention is to follow HTTP semantics as closely as possible. Clustering will be provided in a similar manner to web clustering (i.e. it will require a load balancer, and work in a similar manner to web clustering).

There is still plenty work that needs to be done (especially around security), so if anyone has any feedback let me know.
