Steve Ivy's Weblog - Since 1999 - XII Ed.

Blog Search With XPath-aware URL Processing

Jon Udell points to Kimbro Staken's new XPath-searchable weblog software. Very cool!

The coolest part of Kimbo's post though is this: by supporting HTTP PUT in his software, he can edit pages using OmniWeb's source viewer/editor. I had heard of the little supported PUT method of HTTP, but had no idea that OmniWeb supported it.

That simply rocks, and harkens back to the original WWW app (written by Tim Berners-Lee on a NeXT computer) which was both a browser and an editor (though it would only edit file:\/\/ pages.
