Dave, I'm not aware of any such implementation. Perhaps you can make it work with the URL parameters. Much like search engines do. Having POST/PUT idempotence would be imcompatible with many applications (and the protocol itself). - Joris > -----Original Message----- > From: ietf-http-wg-request@w3.org > [mailto:ietf-http-wg-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Dave Oxley > Sent: Thursday, 20 November 2003 18:48 > To: ietf-http-wg@w3.org > Subject: Re: idempotence of POST > > > > > <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg-old/1996SepDec/0059.html> > > This was a message from '96 that I found with a Google > search.
