Really great article. Outlines history, evolution and problems solved by each iteration. One thing they didnt get into was the methods (options, patch, put, delete, etc) i always found that one to be weird as it seemed proprietary. After a bit of research [0], i found that it was to because the creator had identified multiple ways they wanted to modify a document. I find that facinating because there is no "pay" method or "mutate 5 objects in a database and send 2 emails but make sure that the post data is encrypted" method. Perhaps the creator didnt have the forsight in simply specifying whether data should be parsed from the url or from a body. Perhaps the http method still has more room to grow [0] https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-history-of-HTTP-verbs-PUT-GET-POST-and-DELETE https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-history-of-HTTP-verbs-PUT-...
