Well, it seems to have lots of details, but I find it hard to follow them because they don't seem to be motivated. I see... "A version of our old friend the stockquote service, but treating the stock itself as an EndpointParameter. Only one operation at the moment, namely LastTradePrice" The obvious way to do this is to respond to GETs on a URI like /stocks?sym=IBM with something like <price>83.61</price> The ?sym= could be /sym/ or whatever. With respect to running code, try http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=IBM and imagine that they supported a simple XML (or RDF) results format. Ah... in fact, they seem to support .csv format... close enough, no? http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=IBM&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
