If you control both ends of the pipe you are free to use the methods and conventions and maybe benefit when something gets cached.
That you cannot rely on consistency is not a reason to have none at all.
Destructive actions can and are also hidden behind a GET. When such an endpoint gets called indiscriminately by the rest of the internet it usually becomes the faulty implementation's problem.
Presumably the same would be true for QUERY.
- usrbinbash 3y agoIf I control both ends. And if the server side is not a legacy application that no resources get expended on to fix something that isn't broken. Those are 2 very big if's. > That you cannot rely on consistency is not a reason to have none at all. I want consistency. I stated as much in my post: "Rules are good." I'm just not convinced adding more rules to a collection of rules that already isn't consistently applied in the wild, will give me more consistency.
