[rabbitmq-discuss] Support for other protocols in RabbitMQ?

Tue Oct 23 03:35:27 BST 2007

  I've been trying to figure out how to use the rabbit-over-http support.

  The first issue, is where does it assume Rabbit is supposed to be installed?  I get a bunch of errors that the includes can't be found.  Is the http module supposed to be stuffed inside Rabbit?
