Hi Pranesh, I think you'll find that a GET request doesn't have a body to read. All the information you can get is in the HTTP Request headers and the URI/Query String which can be found in the tables and values on the request_rec structure.
This is a much simpler thing to do that the POST/PUT case you described. __________________________________________________ Anthony Whitehead Nordic Edge AB Mobile: +46 (0)70 227 63 38 Business card: www.nordicedge.se/awhitehead .
