Tyler Palsulich commented on TIKA-891:
--------------------------------------

I took a stab at adding the {{@POST}} annotation to each {{@PUT}} resource. 
But, it didn't work. Turns out, you cannot support two HTTP request methods for 
the same resource. See [this 
blog|http://marxsoftware.blogspot.com/2010/02/playing-with-jerseyjax-rs-method.html#post-body-8986464064706467213]
 for an experiment. I couldn't seem to find anything in the [official 
documentation|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19798-01/821-1841/giepu/index.html]. 
But, the blog and my own experience seem like reason enough.

So, now the real question: Since we can't support {{@PUT}} and {{@POST}}, do we 
want to leave everything the way it is, or switch everything to {{@POST}}?

I'm leaning toward leaving the resources the way they are. But, {{@POST}}, as 
discussed above, isn't necessarily wrong...

> Per Jukka's email:
> http://s.apache.org/uR
> It would be a better use of REST/HTTP "verbs" to use POST to put content to a 
> resource where we don't intend to store that content (which is the 
> implication of PUT). Max suggested adding:
> {code}
> @POST
> {code}
> annotations to the methods we are currently exposing using PUT to take care 
> of this.
