This is an interesting assertion about REST. I don't yet agree with it as stated though I might after further discussion and elaboration. To provide a possible counter-example, I always found the HTTP SEARCH proposal <http://www.greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-webdav-search-latest.html> to be RESTful because - The results of a search are returned as a set of resource identifiers
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that Lisa, but AFAICT, the results of a SEARCH request does not have an identifier. A RESTful solution would be publish a form that could be used by a client to construct a URI that would return the search results (with GET, of course). Cheers, Mark.
