Larry,
I am still confused about your suggestion, even after much discussion on the
DL.
When you talk about using an ipp scheme, do you still expect the protocol to
be HTTP with a request line containing something like "POST
/servlet/ippservlet/foo HTTP/1.1"?
If I am correct, then the ipp scheme is not seen by the server (as in my
example above where it has been stripped). Does the client strip the ipp or
does the proxy do it?
It would help if you would state the step by step process for a client to
send an operation using an ipp scheme to an HTTP server.
