Like the rest of the options, this is not ideal, but it is worth consideration: POST /containers/ID?action=pause with a body that is either empty or contains some other non-related information. You don't have the problem of a single URL for multiple actions, and while it's not 100% RESTish, it's not illegal either. -- Ed Leafe __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
