Those verbs have parameters. Notably (let's talk GET) the URI. Consider: GET aPageGivingTheCurrentWeather vs. GET aPageGivingTheCurrentTime vs. GET aPageGivingTheCurrentPriceOfAStock Yes, the verb is the same in each, but the overall action is quite different. Why not describe that. (Some applications don't care and shouldn't, i.e., webcrawler. But others do and should.) Cheers, Bijan.Received on Friday, 20 January 2006 16:02:39 GMT
