Any fully HTTP 1.1 compliant server (which will be required once we implement pipelined gets) should be able to handle a post request. When it comes to this particular feature, I don't really care if it works on the server-side as long as it doesn't cause problems. This is an "information only" operation. Nevertheless, as I said before, I will be trying the headers approach and if it creates issues, I'll have to switch to a POST operation. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
