Getting there... Good evening all!
Thanks for your contributions so far - would "status-free" fit the bill?

stateless

Having no information about what occurred previously. Most modern applications maintain state, which means that they remember what you were doing last time you ran the application, and they remember all your configuration settings. This is extremely useful because it means you can mold the application to your working habits.

The World Wide Web, on the other hand, is intrinsically stateless because each request for a new Web page is processed without any knowledge of previous pages requested. This is one of the chief drawbacks to the HTTP protocol. Because maintaining state is extremely useful, programmers have developed a number of techniques to add state to the World Wide Web. These include server APIs, such as NSAPI and ISAPI, and the use of cookies.


Well, this finishes the discussion, you very completely right from the very beginning, Mary. But it drives me crazy :)

stateless

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers. A feature of HTTP is the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the data being transferred.

Found this on the internet by chucking in 'stateless protocol' and HTTP. It was one of 3410 hits!

without status code

HTTP is a general, object-oriented protocol without a status code for data transfer within the World Wide Web.

Hello Mary, statuslos couldn't be stateless=staatenlos, which is certainly another characteristics of HTTP. But I'm confused as well, because HTTP has got a staus code, but perhaps they mean, the client doesn't have to understand it. But I'm not the expert for this field. Perhaps someone else will know.

non-proprietary??

This is very puzzling.
If statuslos is translated with "stateless", we're on the eve of a whole new web language development which has nothing to do with what we base our know-how on.

Avoiding to stick to words, I try to figure out what it means (but I am an IT-dummy).

Could it mean non-proprietary? Just think along those lines, maybe you'll find the right word.

Hope that helps a little.

More to come? So it's developing. Can we count on your answer?

explanation

Das HTTP-Protokoll (Hyper Text Transfer Protokoll) ist wie fast alle Protokolle im Internet ein ASCII-Protokoll, d.h. wird der 7-Bit-ASCII-Code zum übertragen der Befehle und Daten benutzt. Außerdem ist es statuslos, es gibt nur Anfrage und Antwort, weshalb dieses Protokoll relativ einfach ist.

Hello Maya, we are not crazy yet! But we still need a translation

agree Maya Jurt : status free? Why not. But Ulla should get the merit of this..
