Only the entire url represents a resource. Because http://example.com/foo/bar is a valid resource does not mean that http://example.com/foo is.

I am not adverse to renaming, but I think it needs to be definitive and concise enough to prevent more questions from arising than it would solve. I don't think 'resource' meets those criteria. ~ro -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
