Etan: I greatly appreciate your comments. However, may I ask you to rephrase them in less technical language? After reading your email and those sections of Roy's paper I have absolutely no idea what you were trying to communicate to me. Roy's paper is written in such abstract language that I am unable to see the issues you bring up. Maybe some examples would help?
Thanks in advance for clarifying it. -Mike Schinkel http://www.mikeschinkel.com/blog http://www.welldesignedurls.org/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Etan Wexler Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2006 3:57 AM To: Microformats Discuss; Microformats REST Subject: Re: [uf-discuss] "Casual Web Services" and Well Designed Urls[uf-rest] Mike Schinkel wrote to Microformats Discuss: > Since the URL structure of a REST-based web services typically becomes > an important part of the API, HTML web pages will need Well Designed > Urls in order to operate effectively as REST-based web services. REST does not permit programmatic construction of URIs in which the construction uses of out-of-band knowledge and bits of data. Read sections 5.1.5 ("Uniform Interface", <http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm#sec_ 5_1_5>) and 5.2.1 ("Data Elements", <http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm#sec_ 5_2_1>) of "Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures". Particularly, REST relies on hypermedia as the engine of application state, while constructing URIs violates this constraint.
