> Why do you think Amazon's users prefer REST?
Because they are mostly simple applications that really are just GET --
get me this web page, get me this XSLT output (gotta admire Amazon for
putting themselves out there on that one). Almost all the POST uses are
for credit-card transactions where the liability is already limited by
US law.
Therefore, there is no reason for
multi-party interactions (defeats their whole intent, which is to
become the one-stop merchant platform)
no need for signatures, end-to-end encryption, strong authentication, etc.
In other words, nothing that would really require a SOAP Header.
