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

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

Optimistic Locking :)
PATCH / If-Match: “XYZ”
PUT / If-Non-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! ;)
