Re: Questions on {http method} and {safety} extension properties

John,

I suggested that POST be the default.

In another thread, the proposal is to make {safety} OPTIONAL. If absent, 
then the operation is assumed to be unsafe, hence POST is a reasonable 
default.

Questions on {http method} and {safety} extension properties






Some questions arose while implementing HTTP extensions from Part 2 
Adjuncts.

In 6.3.1 HTTP Method Selection at [1]  is there a default value for {http 
method} if the {safety} property is "false"?

In 3.1 Operation Safety at [2] the {safety} property is defined as 
REQUIRED with a default value of "false" if not specified in the WSDL, so 
is the wording at [1] "...if a {safety} property ... is present ..." 
redundant (i.e. {safety} will always be present)?

And there's a possible typo in section 3.1 at [2].  The assertion refers 
to "...a safe interaction defined in Section 3.5 of [Web Architecture]". I 
think this should say Section 3.4 (i.e. section 3.4 Safe Interactions).
