Why are you wearing makeup?

[jcgregorio]

No, it is not.

Your definition of Idempotent is not complete, in addition to multiple times you should add "the outcome of the results is not changed" e.g. max(x,x) = x.

@TraceTreez It is a design constraint

Also a thought. Intermediaries like proxy act like a server when caching is in place. They hold the part or entire application state, and transfer these states when user agent requests state transition (via GET, DELETE or PUT).

Please correct me if I have got something wrong in this concept....

Thanks,

Thanks for the tutorial Joe. However I feel you could have given more emphasis on state. My understanding is that, State refers to application state, and application state is represented by document (Representation). Each state leads to next state through an action (Method) in the form of links in the document.

Thanks,

Nitin
