Hi,

Unlike Link/360, Serials Solution's Summon API is extremely cumbersome to
use - requiring, for instance, that requests be digitally signed. (*)

Has anybody developed a proxy server for Summon that makes its API public
(e.g. receives requests, signs them, forwards them to Summon, and relays the
result back to a HTTP client?)

Serials Solutions publishes some PHP5 and Ruby sample code in two API
libraries (**), but these don't appear to be fully fledged nor
easy-to-install solutions.  (Easy to install here is defined as an average
systems librarian can download them, provide the API key, and have a running
solution in less time than it takes to install Wordpress.)

Thanks!
