I understand that the add/remove thing is a bit against REST philosophy, but I hoped that some intermediate solution could exist. I read about the checkboxes, but a section could have as much as thousands of contents. In this case, obviously I can't offer the checkboxes. Even if I leave some of them hidden, I don't know if sending a request with thousands of content_ids is a good thing :S If there isn't a compromise solution in REST I guess I'll have to stick to a more 'classical' approach on this. :-( Any other advice?
