In a previous episode David W. Morris said... :: What would your reaction be to including the safe/uahint header on the :: POST request? Wouldn't that be a problem for 1.0 servers/cgis who would ignore the safe requirement and process the non safe post anyhow? I do believe that control over the issue belongs on the request side to maintain symmetry with the way it is now with GET and POST.. I almost don't see an alternative to a new method (back to GETWBODY). Generally what I'm getting at is the UA has a right to dictate whether changes may be made or "I'm just browsing".. (the server of course can respond with "get out of here!" if it's process requires mores than browsing type permission.) My suspicion is that this really should be deferred to 1.2 so a new method can be added. Thoughts? -Pat -- Patrick R.
