>headers? Are there *any* headers or procedures which can't be made to treat >a POST with "Safe: yes" as, in effect, a GETwithBodyInsteadOfSearchpart? This is not the real issue. Here are 4 system calls: char* get_message(void); char* get_selected_message(int argc, char* argv[]); char* post_message(const char* message); void write_data(const char* data); Here is typical usage: const char* message = get_message(); const char* result = get_message(1,"John Smith"); const char* response = post_message("Wow. I'm tired."); write_data("Here is some text."); How would you feel if I did this? const char* message = get_message(); const char* result = post_message("John Smith"); const char* response = post_message("Wow. I'm tired."); write_data("Here is some text."); As you can see, it's mostly semantics. One emphasises the data retrieved, the other, the data sent.
