2. About this repository

Please note that the official site[1] has provided a client (also opensource ) written in Java.

There are also some repository [4][5] implement a HandleSystem Client, but they all use HDL.NET® Proxy Server System [7] instead of directly interacting with a HandleSystem server.

This repository is mainly for learning and researching purpose. The implementation is mainly based on three RFCs [2][3][4], also some reference to official client implementation. Codes are tested under Python 3.9

3. Things to do

Still lots of things todo XD.
