I have had this PR open for a while:
https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/pull/3744
I meant to bring this to the mailing list earlier, but I forgot :P
The reason this merits discussion is that the PR adds several method
handlers to the /jobs endpoint that didn't exist in Perl:
- POST
lets users create new jobs directly at this endpoint. My hope is
that the /user/current/jobs endpoint will fall into disuse, and we can
consolidate some functionality in one place. Obviously, this
necessitates a CDN-wide queue of reval updates.
- PUT
allows jobs to be replaced. This queues reval updates CDN-wide.
- PATCH
allows jobs to be edited. This also queues reval updates CDN-wide
- DELETE
deletes jobs. This, too, queues reval updates CDN-wide
Which I think is a good idea. Without any way to mutate created jobs, a
typo can have dire consequences that can't be taken back. But since
POST->DELETE->POST is really just editing with more steps, a PUT/PATCH
seemed to make sense.
thoughts?
