I don't remember coming to consensus. We allow load to handle schemes like http and https and so you do have a simplified "GET" request. In the end, setting non-standard headers isn't that normal and so for GET, the only real feature I could see that would cause you to have to use http-request over load would be authentication. Of course, there may be other reasons... I think if you start doing POST, HEAD, PUT, or DELETE requests, the need to switch to an XML input is fine and rational. -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
