Right, so GET is more generic but the result is that I can get back a
much broader variety of information - How do I ensure I get back
something I can actually process usefully?

That feels a little like an artificial separation to me.

I could code at IIOP level in my application if I wanted to or I could
go through stubs etc that hide IIOP from me and allow me to establish
some other form of programming model in my application model.

I could code at HTTP level in my application or I could code at TCP/IP
level.

Am I not just coding at whatever level of abstraction suits me with
whatever protocol suits me to transfer whatever suits me.  I can
transfer using TCP and I can transfer with HTTP?
