Re: IWS, REST APIs, and Logging

   Just because you are at version 2.6 does NOT mean that IWS has not
   delivered a huge pile of new enhancements, update, fixes, and such.  The
   2.6 is really designating the core technology that we are leveraging.  To
   stay current, the latest HTTP PTF Group will get you the latest updates.
    The updates to IWS are all documented here

     Any thoughts on the timeline on this?  Just curious.  We've been on
     Version 2.6 for a long time.

     When we implement logging of payloads, It will fail, but you would still
     have a log of the payload.
