Re:[Axis2] Is the REST requests are send as XML, or encded to URL

[Saminda Abeyruwan <sa...@opensource.lk>]

Hi,

As you said, yahoo and google API support REST via GET and POST. In 
addtion popular Amazon Simple Queue Web Services (www.amazon.com) (more  
infor on -  http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/sdk/ 
<http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/sdk/>  )  support REST through GET.  
http://www.xfront.com/REST-Web-Services.html sujest that REST through 
POST is via xml and has a ecoded URL mechanisum. The prior mentioned 
API's specially yahoo supports, REST through POST via a plan string in 
the body of the POST.  So Axis 2 supporting REST via encoded URL is good 
option, because, REST through GET has a common understanding.
