My perusal of the mailing list is that the following people dave@navisoft.com, fisherm@is3.indy.tce.com, dmw@shell.portal.com, rg@caffeine.server.net, koen@win.tue.nl, mogul@pa.dec.com, Z.Wang@cs.ucl.ac.uk, fielding@avron.ics.uci.edu, aray@pipeline.com have commented on the issues surrounding sending a 'PUT' transaction safely and reliably. I also believe that there is sufficient negative reaction to Roy's proposal in the HTTP/1.1 draft to the '5 second delay' as to indicate that there is not 'rough consensus' on that particular design element. We've had a long discussion with various counter-proposals floated, but not much convergence. I'll ask all of you to decide between one of the following three alternatives (I can think of no others): - Are you interested in drafting a counter-proposal? - Should PUT go into HTTP/1.1 as originally specified, but with a warning as to its unreliability? - Should PUT be removed from HTTP/1.1?
