REST was a simplification of HTTP. I am merely reporting backlash
against REST. Also there is backlash against XML which is why people
are using JSON. There was probably quite a bit of design of HTTP, but
I could see MIME being replaced with something else.
Is there any truth to the rumor about DRM in html5?
The following are very good, and informative reads:
http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/ - Architecture of the World Wide Web -
essentially the definitive view of the web, per Tim Berners-Lee - the
document has evolved over the years, but it still has the clearest
overview of the overall architecture of the Web
The HTTP spec: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/
and the rather wonderful state diagram from the erlang webmachine
documentation, that explains HTTP better than anything else I've ever seen:
https://raw.github.com/wiki/basho/webmachine/images/http-headers-status-v3.png
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~taylor/documents/2002-REST-TOIT.pdf (the
definitive description of REST - which is best viewed as an
architectural style, or design pattern - i.e. it's descriptive, not
proscriptive)
And for HTML5, there are the specs at http://www.w3.org/html/wg/
and the "living standard" at
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/
All are really worth reading, thoroughly, for a serious architectural
perspective on how all the pieces wire together.
