Protocols/Formats/etc: (see also RFC Editor Site)

• ACAP Application Configuration Access Protocol "an internet protocol for accessing client program options, configurations, and preference information remotely. ACAP is a solution for the problem of client mobility on the Internet. Almost all Internet applications currently store user preferences, options, server locations, and other personal data in local disk files. These leads to the unpleasant problems of users having to recreate configuration set-ups, subscription lists, addressbooks, bookmark files, folder storage locations, and so forth every time they change physical locations."
