Re: HTTP working group status & issues (please reply)

% - GET-with-body or idempotent-POST
%   Discussed on the working group; there seems to be enough
%   demand, but not a lot of clarity on the solution.

I personally don't like very much an idempotent-POST: if I have an
incremental database, POSTing twice should result in two record added.
Netscape "repost form data?" checkbox is however a good idea, IMO, and
maybe it could be further developed to content everybody.


% - versioning & distributed authoring
%   The versioning/distributed authoring group(s) are making
%   good progress on requirements and proposals.
%   *** Opinions about 'same group' vs 'separate group'?

Don't care. I feel that versioning can bear the complexity which
distributed authoring adds.


% *** Is this schedule OK with you? 
Yes .

ciao, .mau.
