Lets forget about REST and concentrate on the BEST
place.
The HTTP-Authorization field is the right place (and no I
did not choose that tag name and I objected at the time, they snuck it in along
with BASIC while I was suffering from food poisoning). I am responsible for the
imaginative spelling of Referer though.

Subject: Re: SAML and REST - was Re: [dix] DIX use casesIt could go in the HTTP Authorization field using a new scheme to be defined.There seem to be several people interested in enhancing HTTP to allow data like this to be provided for REST-style interactions. This has parallels with putting data in SOAP headers rather than in the content of the message.

Subject: SAML and REST - was Re: [dix] DIX use cases
so I admit that I am confused and probably out of my depth, and I know better than to argue with the initial spec author that it can't be done.
but I simply don't understand what it means to use SAML with something like atompub http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-atompub-protocol-08.txt or any of the plethora of so-called REST based web services.
Here is an ATOM post.

Where does the SAML go? I apologize for my lack of understanding here.
