I think I'd be leading you astray if I left you thinking that there's much
chance I'd find time to actually do anything )o: much as I'd love to get my

more difficult for your client you mean? At the server I would see it being
simpler implementing it as a servlet. If java.net.HttpURLConnection worked
it'd be easy from the client too (o: I'd have thought that it'd be simpler
to do it as XML/HTTP and then implement something on the client (which you'd
have to do to some degree anyway). I'm also pretty sure you can find some
nice client side http connection libs out there.

I think I now see what you're saying about implementing it now.
Different approach though... Why not SOAP? I'm assuming there's a good
reason why this isn't appropriate.
