These ends up as 500 Status faults on the web end. Is this according to spec? Or should some of those actually be 300 and 400 for appropriate not found method's, wrong authentication ? Just wondering - as new sematics for status code have enourmous ramfications for things like SNMP monitoring on web level; caching, log file parsing, proxy/gateway traversal and in fact the whole environment around web servers. What is the intention of the spec here ? and of axis :-) Dw
