Yes, but Atom knows what's a collection and what's an entry, right? In our case we don't. If you're posting to /foo and that node exists (nt:unstructured), how do we know if you want to update /foor with new properties, or create a new child node under it? That's why MicrojaxPostServlet uses a POST to /foo/* to mean "create new child node under /foo", and POST to /foo to mean "update /foo". Using PUT instead would be cleaner of course, but browsers don't do that today. -Bertrand
