> Judy: Jason proposed collapsing resource and state. Won't that get us what we need? > Jim W: No, it won't handle dynamic content. There we need to distinguish between state > and resource. The resource is the output of the cgi script. [Judy: why isn't that the > representation? What actually is the resource in this case?] > Geoff: We want PUT at URL 1 to be reflected at URL 2. For static resources, the state > and representation are both the contents of some file, say, and PUT changes the content of > the file. For dynamic resources, PUT changes the state (the cgi script), and so changes the > representations it generates. Is this now considered resolved by all parties? If someone still sees a problem with my proposal, please speak up. I'd like to resolve them PDQ. I also think the CGI/dynamic content topic is interesting and I've promised Jim Amsden that I'd bring up some dynamic content issues, but I want to make sure we're comfortable with the base concepts that we have been discussing before I add more ingredients to the soup.
