Subject: RE: [security-services] List of possible implementation features for SAML 2.0

Would be comfortable with either, just GET or just POST John PS perhaps I should have come to the F2F! > -----Original Message----- > From: Mishra, Prateek [mailto:pmishra@netegrity.com] > Sent: 01 July 2004 14:55 > To: Scott Cantor; 'John Hughes' > Cc: security-services@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: RE: [security-services] List of possible implementation > features for SAML 2.0 > > > John, this was discussed at the F2F and I am reasonably > comfortable with the > current state of the binding.
