... IMHO, It _is_ a noun. I think you're being misled that "convert" somehow makes the URL less valid than "/mydocument.html/pdf", proposed by Bill. What does...
... Places are nouns, too. All you are doing is giving the URI of a service that performs stateless conversions. The GET interface simply tells you how to...
... http://myhost.com/convertor ? The whole verb-in-the-URI-thing is just a rule of thumb that I found seemed to help some brought-up-on-RPC types I know to...
Hi everybody, ... Thanks for all the comments, they all helped add a little bit of ... So, services (even those that look like verbs) can be stateless ...
... Er, services that "look like verbs" are just confusing -- the question is whether they behave according to the uniform methods applied to them or not. If...
