SEARCH and/or GET+Query method #229
Description
In the section "Reading data using SPARQL" I suggest instead using the SEARCH METHOD ( see the recent draft-snell-search-method-00 RFC which is being discussed on the HTTP mailing list currently and that is gaining momentum )
I have implemented that already in rww-play as described in that curl interaction page
$ curl -X SEARCH -k -i -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-query; charset=UTF-8" \
--cert ../eg/test-localhost.pem:test \
--data-binary @../eg/couch.sparql https://localhost:8443/2013/couch
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/sparql-results+xml
Content-Length: 337
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<sparql xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#'>
<head>
<variable name='D'/>
</head>
<results>
<result>
<binding name='D'>
<literal datatype='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string'>Comfortable couch in Artist Stables</literal>
</binding>
</result>
</results>
</sparql>Given that most other WebDAV methods are implemented ( see issue solid/solid-spec#3 ) this should be an easy addition, and seems less ad hoc than what is currently being suggested namely
GET /data/ HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
Query: SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o . }
