<PRE>PUT _should_ (there is no police here though) be used to either create
a resource or completely update it (it's refered to as &quot;upsert&quot; by
some; in Redis, for example, a similar concept would be &quot;set&quot;).
Partial modifications should be made using PATCH. POST is what is
commonly used to create a resource. According to
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html">http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html</A> 412 is used
when &quot;[t]he precondition given in one or more of the request-header
fields evaluated to false when it was tested on the server.&quot; (also:

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> My bad I was a little confusing in my previous answer. You are right, if
