Comment on PUT or POST: The REST of the Story

Comments

I think of PUT as PUT == (over)write.

    GET == read
    PUT == (over)write
    DELETE == delete
    POST == invoke (custom processing)
The effect of a POST then comes down to the definition of that "custom" processing. This is outside the scope of HTTP; don't conflate the two.
