I actively discourage http.... It conceptually mixes layering in a horrific fashion... HTTP does have some major features: in particular, that the default behavior allowing extensions is to ignore what you don't understand, which in a network environment, is the correct default (since you can't upgrade both ends of the connection at once). But it has the opposite problem (which has consequences about 1/10'th as often); no good way to require the other end understand messages that are not upward compatible... - Jim -- Jim Gettys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
