New search reveals new Second Life web-services
Linden Lab have unveiled their new search with the availability of the first 1.18.5 release candidate. The search system doesn't appear to have a form where you can just browse away on the Web without getting into Second Life, so I've made one for you that you can use to check it out if you can't get inworld right now.
The new search system exposes a number of web-services where you can examine groups, sims, parcels, textures and more.
Know someone's UUID? You can access their profile. Here's my profile.
Have a texture UUID? Ask for it - in a variety of sizes. We're not sure what (if any) texture permissions actually apply that might restrict access to them. We haven't yet found a texture we can't obtain.
A whole lot of Second Life is exposed to the web this way. We're not sure if the image service constitutes an exploit or not.
