Next: Repository Proxy
Up: Adaptation Framework
Previous: Library Request
The communication between the repository and
the adaptation mechanism
is based on a small subset of the HTTP protocol [#!Rfc2616!#].
It is extended by the definitions
for the profile, class and library request.

Two messages are supported by the protocol:
- 1.
- send request
- 2.
- send answer
The send request message format is structured as shown
in figure ![[*]](http://www.nm.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/common/icons/latex2html-97.1/cross_ref_motif.gif)
.
The send answer message format is structured as shown

As discussed in section the central repository
has a major impact on the characteristics of the mobile code,
e.g. autonomy of the mobile agent.
The proposed solution for the prototype is
a proxy repository.
