Just read through the spec and primer. One question jumps to mind though. HTTPR looks like a mechanism for doing message queuing over HTTP in an asymmetric manner. That is, the client always has to initiate the connection and the server always responds. Do you envision this as the default setup or do you also envision a network of peers where each client is also a server and vice-versa? If so, how does the message flow change? I'd assume some of the intermerdiate polling (i.e. client issuing a PULL) steps can be eliminated. --Nick -----Original Message----- From: www-ws-request@w3.org [mailto:www-ws-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of John Ibbotson Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 11:39 AM To: www-ws@w3.org Subject: Reliable HTTP A recent thread on this list commented on the need for reliable delivery of messages via HTTP. IBM has just released a first draft specification to support reliability over HTTP. Together with a primer, it is available from www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices. We welcome any comments and feedback on this specification.
