[tdwg-tapir] Tapir protocol - Harvest methods?

So we have DiGIR running at Mobot for Tropicos data, and clients hit it
to harvest data. I was just wondering if people are still deploying
DiGIR at all, or are they just using Tapir by default? It seems to have
taken over for DiGIR, and I want to know if that's a 'standard' that we
should follow.
For testing, yes, we're talking more of performance; make sure our
network and server will handle X load. So I guess I want to know more
of, how do clients attach to a Tapir server, how do they pull the data
from us?
Sorry if this is such a newbie question, but I can't understand this
aspect from the docs I've read.
Thanks for the reply!
Phil

Phil,
Is the "DiGIR implementation that you want to move away from" just a
DiGIR service? Or is it something else?
I would only keep a parallel DiGIR service if there are older clients
that can only talk to it and for some reason (time/resources) can't
be updated. I'm not sure if this is your case.
Also, when you said that you want to "test your implementation", did
you mean that you want to test a TAPIR service, or is it some other
application based on TAPIR? If you just want to test a TAPIR service,
you could simply run TapirTester on it instead of developing your own
harvester:
http://tapir.tdwg.org/tester/
Note: If necessary, the existing tests can be improved. New ones can
also be created (TapirTester is open source).
Hope this helps,
