... Gack! You ought not send an entity in a GET. How about POSTing your trade to some URI, and the server returns the URI of the resource containing your price...
Scott, ... What about GET /pricingService?trade=http://example.org/trade/123 or POST /pricingService <pricing> <trade><!-- representation of trade goes here...
Hi. I'm working on an application that exposes some kind of "item" to its users (the actual kind of item isn't important). I want users to be able to interact...

... This will probably elicit mention of XMLHttpRequest. It is possible to use it in the browser to make PUT and DELETE reuests, of course. But I'm looking for...
... It might be, but I can't help you with that. :) XMLHTTP is getting there but not there yet. It does you no good for older browsers, browsers without...

Hi Vincent and REST list: ... Excuse my misunderstandings, I'm new to REST, but what does REST principles have to do with state being maintained in the server ...
