> Go read the RFC definition of PUT and report back. I can never understand it. If anything, PUT needs to be retired in favor of something unambiguously specific like CREATE.
PUT is unambiguously defined as "take the request-body, and make it the resource at the given URI". If it was named by the creators of SQL, it would be CREATE OR REPLACE RESOURCE <uri> WITH <request-body>.
(OR, if it was BASIC, it would be "LET <uri> = <request-body>".)
