All, I seem to have lost rational thought at moment and would like some advice. Let's assume a RESTful weather service with the URIs looking something like...
... From the POV of a GET a 303 and 307 are very similar. However, a 307 is a "temporary redirect" which to me implies "I've moved the resource over there for...
... Which of course means an extra client/server roundtrip, which may or may not be acceptable. Stefan -- Stefan Tilkov, http://www.innoq.com/blog/st/...
... It does, but the proper use of HTTP frequently requires multiple trips. Certainly redirects are common enough. And, if you want to treat them differently,...
agreed. Because the 303 is already pretty lightweight I think it would be ok. I suppose however that it entirely depends on the client's caching strategy. When...
... Wouldn't using the Content-Location HTTP header field also be a "good way to canonicalize your resources"? The Content-Location entity-header field MAY be...
... In theory, yes. In practice in the wild, not so much. See this thread; http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2007JulSep/0269.html Mark. -- ...
... Agreed. But I was thinking about "Web API" (programmatic) use of HTTP as opposed to typical browser behavior. As long as one documented one's interface and...
... I meant to say that origin servers sometimes don't know what their own real URI should be due to the presence of intermediaries that rewrite incoming...
... Yeah, me too; which is why a while back I proposed saying “hypermedia-driven application state” instead, whose initialism is HDAS, and whose long form...
... The word "hypertext" should have been enough, but it actually means very different things to different people (especially those within the hypertext...
... I agree that "hypertext constraint" should be enough because properly understood, the "hyper" in hypertext specifically refers to embedding control...
Hey, I have been reading a lot about how the Atom publishing protocol is very extensible and can be used to send any type of XML data that is in the pub-sub...
I can't examine this in more detail myself (I'm not a .NET developer/user) but I couldn't tell from the brief information on the page whether or not it uses...
Hi there, My application has a policy resource at 'policy/123'. When a client DELETEs 'policy/123' I'm actually expiring it on the server by setting the...

Hi, I would like to encourage people to talk more of combining the Semantic Web and REST. Much of the research I have read on the Semantic Web is about...
... Yes. In fact it seems that your research has been surprisingly limited - the vast majority of RDF/semweb usage is in a RESTful context. I and many other...
