I started toying with Prototype today. It's been sort of a kid in the candy store, "can I really do that? Woah!" fun afternoon. The $() operator, the sublime syntax for Ajax.Request, and the promise of so much more I haven't tried yet.
I guess that's what frustrates me so much about intentionally sending the wrong type of HTTP request instead of a DELETE or a PUT. A POST is a POST, and not a DELETE, and not a PUT. Hiding the intended message type violates the REST principle of being a self-descriptive message at the protocol level. It also blocks the consumption of web services using POST/GET/PUT/DELETE to implement CRUD methods. Has anyone forked Prototype to fix this? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
