Sure - that was just for clarification of how the PUT is done with browsers :)

I was just thinking about the possible CRUD REST schemas and it found that under that schema you display the same form under two addresses: /foo/1234/edit_form and /foo/1234 (in case of the error). And the other day I had that idea that perhaps instead of using path part - use another parameter so /foo/1234?x-view-method=edit_form would render the form and /foo/1234 would render the standard view of the object. This way the form would have just one address. Both things are just different representations of the same thing - so using a parameter to differentiate between them seems quite logical. But on the other hand it might look too different from the traditional ways. -- Zbigniew Lukasiak http://brudnopis.blogspot.com/ http://perlalchemy.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
