Ideally we move some of this to be accessible via a more REST style interface where http GET requests (which would be by far the most common case) are still cacheable via all the standard mechanisms. I'm not a REST evangelist in most cases, but when scale and availability really do matter, REST buys you quite a bit by allowing you to scale and cache in all the ways that the web does. --Mark Ramm _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
