 Proposition: Remove all use of http headers. Use URI instead. Remove request from http body. Use URI instead.
   * Http connection.
-  * Based on URI
+  * Initial action is decided using the URI:
+    * ''query/coursename[/templatename[/macroname]]?sessionid=42''
+    * ''query/coursename[/templatename[/macroname]]?patientid=1234567890''
+    * ''commit?sessionid=42'' http body containing xml with key/value pairs.
+    * ''discard?sessionid=42''
+Advantages:
+  * No xml parsing needed to get required info on how to handle requests.
+  * The template/patientid does not need to be passed around on the server, since the session lookup/creation is done earlier in the connection.
+  * Redundancy is removed (http header fields and request xml http body)
+Disadvantages:
+  * I need to think!
