Luca, Luca Matteis [2013-06-17T08:34]: > Come on! If you're building something that works like the Web but isn't using HTTP, then it's *not* the Web. It's something else that has similar dynamics to the Web (like, I dunno, a gazillion of other things?). HTTP is an important feature of the Web, a very fundamental one. Nobody will disagree with that. BUT it is the URI which creates the Web. See Architecture of the World Wide Web. On Tue, 14 Dec 2004 20:19:19 GMT In Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One At http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#interaction 3. Interaction Communication between agents over a network about resources involves URIs, messages, and data. The Web's protocols (including HTTP, FTP, SOAP, NNTP, and SMTP) are based on the exchange of messages. A message may include data as well as metadata about a resource (such as the "Alternates" and "Vary" HTTP headers), the message data, and the message itself (such as the "Transfer-encoding" HTTP header). A message may even include metadata about the message metadata (for message-integrity checks, for instance). -- Karl Dubost http://www.la-grange.net/karl/
