“AuthSubRequest is called as a URL; make a request to: https://www.google.com/accounts/AuthSubRequest with the following query parameters”. Sigh.

So, I’m really glad the comments are here b/c sometimes I’m not quite sure what the *sigh* is about….
This seems sorta restful to me…I mean I can think of worse ways. :)
But I’m guessing you see a flaw? Care to elaborate?
Yah, the del.icio.us interface doesn’t give me much room to elaborate. I was hoping regular readers would figure it out.
It’s using the old anti-pattern of putting the operation in the URI, combined with the use of GET to change state.
I should have….I was having a brain-dead moment.
This seems a little unusual from a “change of state” perspective though…because it essentially reverts itself after the session expires.
I guess the argument is that HTTP POST or PUT should be used for any change of state regardless of whether or not it is a “temporary” one.
That’s pretty much how I see it, yah.
