--- Comment #4 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> --- While the use of GET for non-idempotent operations may be considered a bad idea, it violates nothing. RFC 2616 uses RFC-SHOULD-NOT verbiage and not RFC-MUST-NOT. Note that HTTP also says that PUT should be idempotent, so switching from GET to PUT changes nothing as far as RFC 2616 is concerned. We could invent our own HTTP verbs (which his perfectly valid) but that doesn't seem necessary: you should be using the web (HTML) interface for browsers (which have to make decisions like which resources can be re-retrieved without user confirmation) and a scripting-interface for the /text interface. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
