Requests Resources Representation

Pipelining
SPDY
HTTP 2.0
Optimizing Resources
aka RFC 2616 - The Good Parts
GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE PUT, DELETE POST, PATCH
1 GET / Repeatable! :) No state change! :) Deterministic!
:)
1 2 PUT / 2 PUT / 2 Repeatable! :)
State change! :( Deterministic! :)
1 DELETE / DELETE / Repeatable! :) State change! :(

1 2 PATCH / +1 3 PATCH / +1 Not
repeatable! :( State change! :( Deterministic! :)
Not repeatable! :( State change! :( Non-deterministic! :( 1 ?
POST / ...
Safe: Idempotent: PATCH: POST: :) :) :) :) :( :)

worst case PATCH = Lock on document + PUT
worst case POST = Lock on system + PUT

Server POST ? :(
Browser support? :( <a href=”/” method=”delete”> <form method=”patch”>
Locking? HTTP?

Optimistic Locking :)
PATCH / If-Match: “XYZ”
PUT / If-Non-Match: *
DELETE / If-Match: *
PATCH / If-Unmodified- Since: ...
Browser support? :( <form if-match=”...”> <form if-unmodified-since=”...”>
Scalability
Example Attack JSON CSRF
// https://foo/secrets.json [“chunky”, “bacon”]
<script ! src=”https://foo/secrets.json” ! type=”text/javascript” />
Browser support? :( <script ! src=”https://foo/secrets.json” ! type=”text/javascript” /> GET
/secrets.json Accept: */*
var captured = []; var oldArray = Array; function Array()
{ var obj = this, id = 0, capture = function(value) { obj.__defineSetter__(id++, capture); if (value) captured.push(value); }; capture(); }
Old Architecture Rerun Request Without Session Side-effects? Server load? :(
New Architecture Don’t Authenticate with Session Yay!
Security
Also, Hypermedia! ;)
