Respectfully, I'm afraid that this demonstrates a profound ignorance of Web architecture. I see no value (perhaps even negative value, because of the wasted work) in doing any of the above. The http: URI scheme, and the HTTP protocol (perhaps with extensions) are sufficient for every task mentioned in that message. Thanks. MB -- Mark Baker.
