Hi Andreas,

  First, many many thanks for your time !  I'm so glad you answered...

That I did already.  response.insertIds never gets populated.  It does 
with WFST, by the "InsertResult" on handleCommit, but there's nothing 
for that with HTTP.

Plus, WFST always uses GML, correct ?  So it's ok to use "InsertResult", 
but in my example I can actually set the format.  So in my opinion it 
would be wrong to have Protocol.HTTP handles the results... or if should 
be different depending on the format used...  I dunno...

About Protocol.Save : I already noticed that I could simply check if 
insertIds is empty after this line
 var insertIds = response.insertIds || [];

if it's empty, I can just look directly in the response.priv.reponseText 
and using a regex I could build an array of IDs, but I know that's not 
where that should be.  The Save strategy should be standard, not 
specific to some formats...

Any more hints ?
