Yes, it should have been a noun, because a URL is a Uniform Resource Locator, and a verb is not a resource. HTTP methods are for verbs. Sometimes this can lead to strange URLs, but applying the noun/verb rule consistently does simplify things.

One thing that helps is not nesting resources too deep, to avoid having really long URLS.
