Hi, Let's assume we have a resource representing a collection, e.g. / people, and the server has a mechanism to decide whether representations that are posted...
Hi Julian, ... I am torn between 200 and 204. After rereading the relevant section in the HTTP RFC [1], i might favor 204. What do you think? In my setup it...
... That's how i read it too. But the resource IS updated by the POST in my case, so even though the clients learns about the URL with the 303, he does not...
303 does not mean that the client needs to a PUT at that Location. In the context of POST, it just means that, whatever changes that the client asked for have...
I thought about this DELETE w/ notation pattern some more and worked up another possible solution that *does* support conditional DELETE and proper cache...
Hi, I just want to confirm if this is accurate: 1. POX tunnels all its messages using POST i.e. no GETs 2. the URI used is the same URI for all POX services at...
... No. POX just refers to the HTTP entity format, saying that it's only the content that's transferred in the entity and not any metadata. It says nothing...

In the most general sense, POX means REST minus the hypermedia constraint and with uselessly generic media types: a service that serves and consumes XML...
I don't believe "POX" is officially defined anywhere. But I've only ever seen it used as "like SOAP, but without the envelope" (i.e. your option 3). Stefan -- ...
That's my impression as well. That's how I have used it, and seen it being used. What Sean is describing in the original question is similar to XML-RPC. Subbu ...
... The way I remember it used back when it was a positive term (during the first wave of SOAP backlash pre REST awareness), it really did mean more than...
... POX was not / is not a 'standard' in any way that I'm aware of. I was using XML-over-HTTP by POSTing back in 2000/2001. Later, this was classified as POX...
... I don’t think anyone claimed otherwise. POX was/is a meme, nothing concrete. What I described is the kind of service that I remember being classified as...
POX to me means REST-as-in-HTTP, - without ensuring client application state is on the client - without ensuring resources are addressable - without regard for...
Anyone know of any webmail or forum (discussion/bulletin board) open source applications that use REST to access the back end message store? Thanks! -- Andrzej...
Bill, Thanks. I think your point about caching intermediaries is very salient. I have read about SOAP i.e. RPC implementations where (in order to improve...

Hello rest-discussers, I thought that some of you might find this interesting: http://blog.therestfulway.com/2008/09/webmachine-is-resource-server-for-web.html...
Hi, I have a question regarding the Accept HTTP header. From the HTTP spec I read "The Accept request-header field can be used to specify certain media types...
Hello Benoit, You certainly can have different representations prepared ahead of time at separate URIs. The Accept request header helps you not need to, but...
... You can certainly use different URIs for each format, but doing so can break caching. When you use the Accept header to determine which format to return,...
Hi, thanks for your answers. Actually I do not control the image URIs. I know the list and I have to return the XML document with the link to the correct...
... How about using links? Here is an example: <myresource> <link href="URI to a pdf representation" rel="alternate" type="application/pdf"/> <link href="URI...
Hello, I'm having a hard time designing a restful domain specific XML vocabulary. How should I link to other resources and others representations of the...
... I believe <link> is too generic/extensible, designed so that you can fully describe a link only with attributes instead of having to define new XML...
