magic-url: a URL whose sole reason for existing is to allow you to POST to it, so you can pretend you just ran PUT|DELETE on another URL altogether. A means of working around parts of the web which are Broken As Deployed. It's a total hack. registered-url: some IANA thing that would be a value of the SonOfSoapAction: header idea, that's getting floating about at the moment. It's a de jure hack. cheers Bill-who-is-so-angry-about-this-he-can-barely-speak
