Yes, I considered that, but here is no standard for query parameters, AFAIK. Since Dojo is a client side library, we are aiming for maximum interoperability with servers by following the HTTP specification as closely as possible, so servers have a real standard to go off of instead something we made up. It seems like leveraging the range/partial content mechanism with alternate range unit is the approach that HTTP would suggest, and I have no reason to believe it is wrong. Retrieving a paged subset of data is merely a different representation of the same resource. KrisReceived on Sunday, 31 August 2008 13:33:34 UTC
