Subject: RE: [saml-dev] All profiles (in the Profile Specification) depend on the involvement of a browser - True or False?


Thanks for the quick response Scott.  Let me make sure that I understand your answer.

You are saying, "Not all profiles listed in the Profile Specification depend on the involvement of a browser".  Is that correct?
 
Would it be fair to say that "most" of the profiles listed in the Profile Specification depend on the involvement of a browser?
 
Thanks.  /Roger

Yeah, since I said "and your use case isn't simple SAML queries".

I overlooked it, but it's analagous to a query, and it's a very little used
profile.
