Could there be a new response code that in effect says: "Status 99999999999: The information resource you have requested is too #&%^ big and the provider has decided that you need to use one of the following access methods to get at it", followed by a list of protocols in a manner similar to what lsid provides? There are a couple of related codes already (101, 413), but neither is exactly what is desired it seems. -Alan
