But I can extract two possible interpretations from them; 1) if the operation that a Web services client is trying to invoke is safe, then this operation should be tunneled through HTTP GET or 2) if the operation that a Web services client is trying to invoke is safe, then the operation should in fact be GET *instead* of that other operation Which was intended? Thanks. (*) I'm ignoring the possibility of GET extension, since HTTP doesn't support mandatory extensions Mark. -- Mark Baker. Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA. http://www.markbaker.ca
