One could conceptually model HTTP as being sort of like a space based system. But lack of transaction support, the read-only tendancy of the web, and the representative state transfer would make the mapping rather ugly. Then again, I've got no problem with replacing HTTP with a linda-spaces type system :P Has anyone done a spaces type system using only HTTP and XML yet? That'd be a fun little project... -- Justin Chapweske - Noodler, Cyrus Intersoft http://www.cyrusintersoft.com/Received on Friday, 24 March 2000 12:51:56 GMT
