| Interface to a global registry of servers and their (globally-unique) child
names.
For example, host "bbn.com" could have HTTP support on port 4321 and HTTPS
support on port 8765, and contain two (internal) children, "AgentX" and
"AgentY". The GlobalRegistry provides support for "bbn.com"
to advertise:
("AgentX", "http=bbn.com:4321, https=bbn.com:8765")
("AgentY", "http=bbn.com:4321, https=bbn.com:8765")
to remote servers and to find remote names, such as "AgentZ".
The URL-encoded names must be HTTP safe -- see RFC 1945 for details.
