[jdev] XMPP URI & GET/POST Semantics

[Alex Milowski]

I've been looking at XMPP uri processing and the different
query types [1] and I'm curious if anyone has defined more GET/POST/etc.
semantics for thees URI values?

I've been integrating XMPP URI support into Restlet [2] and I'm
struggling with the right processing model.  As Restlet has a
uniform processing model, the method is less of a
constraint.

For example, I could "POST" or "GET" on:

   xmpp:alex at milowski.com/desktop?message;body=hello+world

without an entity body and have the semantics be the
same (i.e. send a message).  Neither would return an
entity body because of the asynchronous nature of XMPP.  As
"POST" is more usually associated with "sending data", it
seems like that is more appropriate.

I have enabled both but I'm curious as to the intended use.
