Question about registry support of general RESTful services.

[Matthew Graham]

Hi Theresa,

No, there is not. Certainly a general extension for properly RESTful services would be a good idea.

	Cheers,

Beyond expanding queryTypes for ParamHTTP to include UPDATE/DELETE/ETC,  I also mean some kind of  support for parameters that are XML or JSON blobs.  This is already described in a hodgepodge of specialized interfaces for VOSI, TAP, VOSpace, etc, but what about non-standard DataServices? I know I'm out of the loop on some generic registry stuff and may have missed something. If not, I’m beginning to see the need for a general extension for it.
