> Yes, I do see HTTP as being purely transport. With all due respect, it doesn't matter how you see it, it is *not* a transport protocol. You can use it this way, the same way I can use any application protocol as a transport protocol by disregarding the task that the application protocol is trying to coordinate. But that doesn't make it one. http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/evaluation.htm#sec_6_5_3 MB -- Mark Baker, Chief Science Officer, Planetfred, Inc.
