What should be possible with HTTP is the following. By using a proxy you should be able to request, e.g. GET wap://host/document HTTP/1.1 what means: GET the WAP resource document from host and send to me with the HTTP/1.1 protocol. However, it must also be possible to: GET wap://host/document WAP/1.0 what must mean: Get the WAP resource document from host and send it to me with the WAP/1.0 protocol. or GET http://host/document WAP/1.0 what means: get the HTTP resource document from host and send it to me with the WAP protocol. This implementation may be useful and is possible to implement. It can save ports on web servers (use only port 80). It is possible to implement HTTPS the same way: Getting the syntax: Request = Method SP URL SP Protocol CRLF Protocol-Specific Method = 1*Char URL = 1*Char Protocol = ProtocolName "/" Version ProtocolName = 1*Char Version = 1*Digit "." 1*Digit Protocol-Specific = *Octet maybe worth the discussion???
