Hi, Both RFC2616 and bis both include the following: > The methods GET and HEAD MUST be supported by all general-purpose > servers. This is unclear for several reasons: a) Although the server MUST support those two methods, MUST it support it for every resource? b) What is a "general-purpose server"? This is the only time this phrase occurs within RFC2616, with nothing to say what it refers to. I mention a) because a large number of web forms create a special resource to send submissions of the form to. Inevitably, if that form is to be sent via POST, a GET request of that resource makes little sense. -- Geoffrey Sneddon <http://gsnedders.com/>
