That said, I'm not sure we've done a particularly good job characterizing the requirements for resource constrained devices. Many such devices will either (a) receive small messages (b) have the horsepower to quickly receive and do random access to moderately larger messages. One can certainly imagine scenarios (incremental rendering of JPEGs, playing music) where it's important to do streaming, though for many of these streaming of the body indeed seems to be what you need. Bottom line: I think we need to do a better job of identifying the real requirements of various small device usage scenarios before we go too far out of our way on design issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 Lotus Development Corp.
