Um, well, not really. REST is just REST; its a design pattern that can be implemented using any protocol. It's true that REST-over-HTTP is the most popular form, but there is nothing about stating that a design is RESTful that implies the use of HTTP.

Albeit, this can be easily fixed by changing REST to CRUD in the core specs – that’s pretty much what we meant when saying „RESTful protocol“. @Thijs: Correct me if I am wrong (you will, I bet ^^) -A. -- Dr. Alexander Papaspyrou adesso AG Head of IT Operations Stockholmer Allee 20<x-apple-data-detectors://2/0> 44269 Dortmund<x-apple-data-detectors://2/0> T +49 231 7000-2394<tel:+49%20231%207000-2394> F +49 231 7000-1000<tel:+49%20231%207000-1000> M +49 162 2808483<tel:+49%20162%202808483> E alexander.papaspyrou@adesso.de<mailto:alexander.papaspyrou@adesso.de> www.adesso.de<http://www.adesso.de/> blog.adesso.de<http://blog.adesso.de/> From: <Sill>, Alan Sill Date: Dienstag, 24.

This is not a contradiction. REST design is not dependent on being implemented in HTTP -- REST can be achieved with any transport.

I think it would be very beneficial to keep the core model HTTP independent, which is also the advantage of having the Redering specifications in separate documents. ------------------------------------------------------- >>> business. people. technology. <<< ------------------------------------------------------- adesso AG mit Sitz in Dortmund Vorstand: Christoph Junge, Michael Kenfenheuer (Co-Vors.), Dr. Rüdiger Striemer (Co-Vors.)
