I agree this is best in theory and that's what I wanted before I started seeing libraries doing different things.   Your suggestion does make sense, so make that change if you want, especially if that gets ported into MochiKit.  Better to have it standardized.  I can already tell someone will try to do something differently, and we're gonna have to suffer with the idiot decision. I talked to Alex Russell of Dojo about this and he agreed this would be useful and should be standardized. We discussed using a shorter name and he came up with X-Ajax-Engine . Although neither of us are crazy about using 'Ajax' in the name it is short and fairly unambiguious. He also mentioned he could bring this up at the OpenAjax Alliance. What does everyone think? That sounds reasonable to me. The names aren't that important, all it needs is buy-in from developers making stuff. Hell, the HTTP spec misspells Referer [sic], using ajax in the name definitely isn't any worse than that :) -bob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MochiKit" group.
