I wrote a few minutes ago: >> Neither, for that matter, does a typical HTTP >> GET message (always consist of a representation), >> though that surely conveys some bits of state >> that represent something or other at the sender. I realize this was very poorly worded. A successful GET message necessarily retrieves a representation. What I meant to say was that the request message itself does not, in the typical case, carry a representation in the usual REST sense (though it no doubt carries a representation of some information at some sending agent.) I prefer to reserve the word representation for that which is retrieved with a GET, or supplied with PUT/POST. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 IBM Corporation Fax: 1-617-693-8676 One Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 ------------------------------------------------------------------
