Actually it will have a major impact....

As nate pointed out, it would be a PUT, not POST, but this would =
_really_ be cool...  Especially once we can open from it too...

Of course, the other option is to impliment BDQS ;)

yeah, especially with 42k applications :)

That would be:
http://server:port/kardia/kardia.app?ls__type=3Dtext%2fplain (or if =
there's a chance it could be gzipped, application%2foctet-stream might =
be more appropriate)

However, this wouldn't be too useful on a .app file (unless you write =
that converter into bojangles :), but would on a .xml one...
