[Laszlo-dev] Re: For your review: Laszlo Database API spec

[Henry Minsky]

Just an implementation note, SOLO apps that depend on HTTP niceties like
that won't work. The Flash player doesn't provide enough control over HTTP
transactions to do PUT or DELETE, I believe. Maybe Flash 8.5 will, but from
what I have seen they still don't provide full access to HTTP. So these
kinds of apps will require an LPS server or other to proxy for HTTP requests
in order to be fully HTTP compliant.
