Lexmark Noell IBM A recent Internet Draft [1] argues that the common use of POST to proide a uniform method of passing blocks of data to an application, is being misused in the definition of new application protocols, such as the Internet Printing Protocol. Cohen et. al. argue that a new PUSH method be defined for this purpose. This Internet Draft argues that the existing POST method proides all of the required functionality for back end applications, such as Print, without sacrificing the leels of security that customers expect. More importantly, from the customer\022s point of iew, it does this without any impact to existing, installed network components.
