Cheers for that. You were right the other day when you said that was the hardest part of REST to get your head around, but it is *the* key to understanding REST. Everyone focuses on the verbs when you try and explain REST, but that's not the main idea. "Hypermedia as the engine of application state" is the main idea. Only through this discussion did I really understand what that piece of the puzzle was trying to tell me. Hooray! :) Now I just have to figure out the rest of it... ast -- Andrew S.
