    really? I feel put or post are more appropiate :s
• imd23 12y ago
  Actions like: retry, complete, select...

    POST most definitely. POST stands for "process this" in REST semantics.
    • avoidwork 12y ago
      POST (create) is for creating an unidentified entity; this one is clearly identified via /:id, so PUT is appropriate (update).
• jtchang 12y ago
  Technically it isn't REST. However what makes the most sense for a RPC style call is a POST.

  What are you 'retrying'?
