The form is the only user interface element capable of initiating custom HTTP requests, without the full spectrum of methods being supported no other means are available for interacting with HTTP-conformant services. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
