Greetings all,
I've been told by co-workers that the GET method is different in HTTP 1.0 and 1.1.
The way it was explained to me was that in HTTP 1.0 GET does not have a body, ergo you cannot add additional information in the body. All of the variables have to be specified in the URI as CGI type variables.
However, in HTTP 1.0 GET allows a body, so one could specify variables using XML (or whatever) in the body of the GET message.
Is this true? I've crawled the web looking for HTTP 1.0/1.1 documents, comparisons and otherwise, but I've never found the above statements? If it is true, can you point me to a reference so I can study up on it?
What about the other methods: PUT, POST and DELETE? Are the same or different between 1.0 and 1.1?
