REST would be much more popular if it had a usable reference implementation. And it would be even better if the reference implementation itself became popular....

What do people think of this syntax/pseudo-code for describing http operations? // get content = server.resource("someURI"); // put server.resource("someURI")...
I agree with GET and PUT, but not POST. How about instead: content = server.resource("someURI") << content; Since POST can get content back, that's why I...
It also highlights the phenomenon of trying to extract all the meaning behind "Representational State Transfer" from just those three words, something more...

Can someone please give an example of a resource that on one POST invocation acts as a "processor" and on another acts as a state-preserving container? And how...
(moved to rest-explore) I think this is a corrolary of Roy's PUT/DELETE comment. Remember, PUT isn't defined to be the generic "state setter" that we...
