They tried to describe the Web as we know and love it in terms of distributed object interfaces. (This was before XML and Web Services killed of the planetary aspirations of CORBA and friends...). http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-HTTP-NG-interfaces/ HTTP-NG Web Interfaces W3C Working Draft 10 July 1998 "This draft document describes an initial set of extensible formal object interfaces that allow some of the basic functionality of HTTP to be captured in the HTTP-NG framework." Also w.r.t. HTTP compliance (as mentioned by TimBL) the Web Characterization Activity, http://www.w3.org/WCA/ did some studies around 1998/99. That page links to: http://www.research.att.com/~bala/papers/ietf99.ps (postscript), "HTTP Compliance Results" http://www.w3.org/WCA/ietf99_web_char.ps "Web Perfomance Characterization" http://www.research.att.com/~bala/papers/procow-1.ps.gz "HTTP1.1 Compliance Results Paper" cheers, Dan
