we spoke a bit in irc on this.... 2009/7/22 João Mesquita <jmesquita@gmail.com>
1. Using ESL for that is the best approach? If not, what would be? (I foresee the need of SSL on libesl soon ...)

1. 2. Should I fetch root with xml_locate on ESL and parse whatever I am interested on FsGUI or should I add switch_xml_list_domains as well its API and whatever other methods are needed on xml retrieval? 1. switch_xml_locate_domain needs the domain name and at this point, I don't have it yet.
I'd personally prefer to see the xml api made richer. so adding a method
to enumerate the domains would be a good start. You can then suck down the domain in one shot. We talked about enumerating groups and users, but perhaps in your use case just working off the domain is enough.
1. 1. Do any of you see a problem with having additional vars on xml directory to control FsGUI permissions and options? If yes, what is the alternative solution?
I don't see a problem, but would suggest prefixing your parameters with
fsgui or something so that it is obvious what is for FS and what is FsGUI.
Anyway, I throwing this at the table so I can get input before making a decision. Hope this does not give you all too much trouble.
Later,
