> It's our pleasure to announce the first release of barx - a Ruby XRI
> resolution library and XRI proxy resolver. (XRI is the spec for i-
> names.)
> 
> We believe that barx is the first implementation of the XRI 2.0 WD11
> spec - it supports the entire spec as defined in ED06 <http://
> www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/25741/xri-resolution-v2.0-
> wd-11-ed-06.pdf> with the exception of SAML trusted resolution.
> 
> The proxy resolver is a fast HTTP server based on Mongrel <http://
> mongrel.rubyforge.org/> and Merb <http://merb.rubyforge.org/files/
> README.html> that can be run as a local service (on
> localhost:someport) to provide XRI resolution and caching for other
> applications such as OpenID relying parties, or as a scalable public
> service if desired.
> 
> The API used by barx is also available as a standalone rubygem, and
> can be used to support the development of other applications, or to
> XRI-enable existing applications.
> 
> The gem contains an examples directory with some examples of how the
> gem can be incorporated into other applications. The proxy server
> contains an example plugin that demonstrates how enable the
> resolution of alternative community roots.
> 
> To install the gem (Ruby and rubygems required):
> gem install barx
> 
> To download the proxy:

> Enjoy!
