[AGENT++] Agent++Win32 and Set Operation Failure with Multiple Variable Bindings

[Frank Fock]

Hi Dave,

Do you refer to AgentX subagents or Windows Extensible Agent DLLs?
For AgentX all VBs of a SET request (served by a particular subagent )
are always passed within one AgentX PDU to the subagent. So this is
compliant to RFC 2741.

For Win32 Extensible Agent subagents, VBs are always passed individually
by the Agent++Win32 master.  Since this "protocol" is not AgentX I see
not why it should be compliant to the AgentX RFC.
Passing the VBs at once should be possible though, however this would
make the current framework a bit more complex. If you need such a solution
urgently then please contact me by email.

Best regards,
Frank
