That's not doing any good if the server doesn't handle POST requests on that LDPR. The server can't handle POST requests unless it has some domain knowledge -- at least it needs to know what the URIs for new resources should look like. > Any "dumb" server can't stop that, can it? A dumb server can't stop a client from saying anything, whether it's true or not. What's your point? Best, Richard
