I was talking to Matt Mullenweg yesterday and he remarked that he didn't
think WordPress could realistically support APP as it stands now,
because WP is commonly used by people on low-rent hosting providers and
quite a few of those don't support the use of PUT and DELETE.
While working on something unrelated, I noticed another problem with PUT
and DELETE that has apparently been raised before (over a year ago) and
rejected.
J2ME does not support PUT and DELETE.
I suppose you could hack it with the socket protocol and manual
management of the HTTP headers, if the socket protocol is supported. It
isn't always supported though, and it's certainly not as nice as using
HttpConnection and HttpsConnection.
I think that was the right decision. APP should not be bound by the
limitations of crippled clients and servers. I tend to think J2ME is in
fact much more important than a few low-rent hosting providers, since
those are more easily upgraded. If we didn't change APP more than a year
ago to allow a pure-POST protocol, why should we change it now much
closer to the end?
