The standard says "POST means NOT-IDEMPOTENT" and "clients MUST not re-issue a non-idempotent requests" and the client behavior naturally falls out of those two constraints.
- samatman 4y agoThe standard being completely backward and impossible to enforce is a problem!
- P5fRxh5kUvp2th 4y agostandards are agreements, they've never been there with the expectation of enforcement.
- samatman 4y agoUnenforceable and unenforced are very different things.
- P5fRxh5kUvp2th 4y agoUnless you've got state actors behind it, it's unenforceable, full stop. We saw this when MS would regularly ignore HTML standards.
