As far as REST goes, I prefer use of GET, PUT, and the more long-lived variations thereof - publish and subscribe. One can PUT to a session-id that happens to support collections of values. (I'm not fond of POST, mostly because it isn't idempotent and is thus difficult to safely use in a disruption-tolerant manner.) > On Feb 14, 2013 2:45 PM, "Miles Fidelman" <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> John Carlson wrote: >> >>> >>> >>> On Feb 14, 2013 12:52 PM, "Miles Fidelman" >>> <[email protected]<mailto: >>> mfidelman@**meetinghouse.net <[email protected]>>> wrote: >>> >>> > Well, at least in principle, drop an html file in a directory (behind >>> a server) and it gets served (or drop it in a WebDAV folder). >>> >>> That sounds like the web circa 1993. >>> Again, you have to configure all the hyperlinks inside those files. >>> >>> > Again, that's why REST has largely won out over things like W3C web >>> services. >>> >>> REST largely sucks because multiple objects require multiple round >>> trips, which is why JSON is beating both the above. >>> >>> >> Ummm...
