Greetings; I have a simple question. What are people doing when they read xml 'over the wire'?. It would appear that the logical structure of an xml document (to wit [1] document ::= prolog element Misc* ) is at odds with the protocol specified for things like a http put operation. For which a response from the recipient cannot come until after the operation is performed. As a consequence of which, the input socket remain open (being a two-way stream in order to write the response) after the object has been read. In which case EOF is not a useful hint that the document is complete. The same problem will appliy to connections which are kept alive for extended communications. We could well assert a specific document structure, - for example prescribing miscellaneous content after the document element, but i'm wondering what the general W3 intent was. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
