Well, if you view the HTTP API as;
interface Resource
{
Entity GET( Headers )
Entity PUT( Headers, Entity )
Entity POST( Headers, Entity )
etc..
}
Then I guess that the headers and the entity would be considered
parameters. Some headers are standardized too, of course. Is that
what you had in mind?
