Robert's idea was to take a (binary) UDP message, express it in hex, and it
becomes the URL-pathname.  I don't see why you can't also do that with UPDATE.

(I'd add a message TCP-like length prefix, as you suggested, so the receiver
knows it got the whole thing).

Maybe your point is that URL length becomes a problem?  We've all seen
very long URLs I'm sure.  

Anyway, my preference for GET over POST is not that strong.
