Subject: Re: [xsl] Document() function: GET vs. POST From: bryan rasmussen <rasmussen.bryan@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2005 10:19:30 +0100 |
actually I don't see how one could reasonably write a resolver for http posts, given that one would still want to do http gets. how would one differentiate between the two? try first as a get, then fall back to a post? I think to do post basically one would have to do an extention function.
