No, but I can make the browser freeze up like an early Swing client at garbage collection time, if people really, really want the synchronous calling style. :-) BTW, this could give us some good hints for our asynchronous RFE: > http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=143 Once again I missed an existing relevant RFE. Tigris-zilla hates me. I'm going to trudge off and read now. I will play with a few different ways of asynchronizing things (I like what you proposed) and see how natural they feel. I've got the basics of a GWT module that includes many of the interesting classes from the API and provides a skeletal RI tightly bound to XmlHttpRequest ... since this is essentially an entire duplicate Restlet universe, I can monkey around with patterns without breaking any real stuff. - Rob
