'Transfer' is the generalization of /all/ commands specified by HTTP - just as 'invoke' is the generalization of /all/ commands issued via RPC (of some kind). The HTTP specializes 'transfer' into GET/PUT/POST/DELETE (the 'DELETE' is an odd one though... 'transfer' might not be generalized enough). An RPC system would specialize 'invoke' into 'debitChecking()/transferFunds()/logError()' etc. Mike
