I had a look again at the issue. If you sett the event limit to zero in the EQUIPMENT list, then the idle() routine of your class driver is called as often
as possible. Typically with 100 Hz. It's then up to you what to do in the class driver. The hv_idle() routine of the HV class driver shipped in the distribution
for example read a channel more often if it has been changed recently. Look at the lines

Just FYI, I am looking at the ROOT web programming component JSROOT and I notice that the RPC mechanism quite different from the JSON-

I had some quick look at the new mongoose code and didn't find anything I dislike. Did a quick test of the proxy which worked and is nice to have.
Agree with all KO said about authentication.

We have to request of a 64-bit integer data type to be included in MIDAS banks.
Since 64-bit integers are on some systems "long" and on other systems "long long",
I decided to create the two new data types

Since the beginning of the lockdown I have been working hard on a new object-oriented interface to the online database ODB. I have the code now in an initial

All this is very good news. I really wish this were available some months ago: it would have helped me immensely. The old C API was clunky at best.
