Assaf, I don't think we're going to resolve this, because at the heart of this issue, like so many others, are some fundamental assumptions made by Web services that I believe are fatally flawed. You mention something here that alludes to one of these assumptions; that "protocol independance" is a feature, rather than a bug. > Personally, I do not see such a clear cut division of labor between POST and > GET. DaveO recently said something similar when he suggested that a GET binding for SOAP complicated matters by giving developers two ways to do the same thing. So you're in good company with this belief. GET and POST are both application methods, and they do fundamentally different things, as you'd expect different application methods to do. Almost nothing that is suitable for GET is suitable for POST, and vice versa. MB -- Mark Baker. Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA. http://www.markbaker.ca Will distribute objects for food
