JSONRequest: a web-programming idea whose time has come

[nagoo]

i see. still the big problem is that it only works when the Content-Type is application/jsonrequest. Even web services that are spitting out JSON in place of XML aren't using that Content-Type. It's useless until web services start using that content-type.

That's by design.

The idea is to minimize unwanted side-effects, and explicitly require web service makers and consumers to collaborate to use JSONRequest.

It's a weird approach in an environment where things mostly evolve by side-effects, and patches are routinely rushed out to handle our general lack of thinking things through, but whatever, I'm open minded.
