If you mean that if Sun hadn't invented servlets (if it really was them who did so) then no-one else would have done so, then I don't agree. Other technologies from the mid-1990s provided similar APIs - consider ILU's HTTP request handler, for example: ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/2.0a14/manual-html/manual_13.html#SEC442 Paul From jjl at pobox.com Tue Feb 17 11:04:56 2004 From: jjl at pobox.com (John J Lee) Date: Tue Feb 17 12:40:51 2004 Subject: [Web-SIG] Re: Mailing list for web client programming / URL-fetching?

I didn't want to fill up web-sig with "how do I do x" questions. OTOH, I suppose xml-sig, for example, is full of those kinds of questions. What do you think (Barry and everybody else)? John
