One REST-friendly way of executing and representing complex queries over HTTP POST (those that can't reasonably be url-encoded) that I came up with is as follows. - query document is POSTed to a /query resource - POST response returns response code 201 (Created) with a body containing a link to a newly created resource (say, /query/result/3248374) - GETs on that new resource return the query results MBReceived on Thursday, 23 August 2001 11:16:13 GMT
