Please take this as an example of an abstract (intangential) resource that could be modeled with creation on demand. That's not how the implementation actually does it. > The only use case I can see for CREATE (for applications) is "virtual" > application-level stuff, like a "room" containing a bunch of sensors, etc. > Or a "floor" containing rooms.

Sure, go ahead. Send HTTP DELETE commands to random webpages and see what happens. You'll likely find that you're going to get one of the denied errors for everything, except for resources that were PUT in the first place. It makes little sense to be able to delete resources that you can't recreate. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ iotivity-dev mailing list iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org https://lists.iotivity.org/mailman/listinfo/iotivity-dev
