A man after my own heart. 8-) How very RESTful of you. Actually, the way you put that reminds me of a complaint I have with SMTP; why the heck does it use so many round trips just to send a single email? There's the welcome (HELO), setting of the sender (MAIL FROM), setting of the recipients (RCPT TO), then finally the sending of the message (DATA), each step a separate network round trip. Why not use a single message with all that info in it?! I'm sure there's reasons, but I suspect they're historical and no longer relevant. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. 8-) Mark. -- Mark Baker. Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA. http://www.markbaker.ca Coactus; Web-inspired integration strategies http://www.coactus.com Yahoo!
