I agree with him. You want the WA 1.0 to modify HTTP? That would be a 'me too' approach. Whenever you want something just add a new HTTP method, whatever. WA 1.0 would force UAs to use HTTP in a non-standard way. I'd say keep it as it is. -- http://www.robodesign.ro ROBO Design - We bring you the future
