Isn't that fairly straightforward? PUT for full updates and PATCH for partial ones. Does anybody do anything different?

[blueflow]

PUT for partial updates, yes, constantly. What i worked with last week: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/projects/#edit-a-project

[OJFord]

That's straightforwardly 'correct' and Fielding's thesis, yes. Yes people do things differently!

[CSMastermind]

Lots of people make PUTs that work like PATCHes and it drives me crazy. Same with people who use POST to retrieve information.

Well you can't reliably use GET with bodies. There is the proposed SEARCH but using custom methods also might not work everywhere.

[bmn__]

No, QUERY. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-saf...

SEARCH is from RFC 5323 (WebDAV).

[Deukhoofd]

The SEARCH verb draft was superseded by the QUERY verb draft last I checked. QUERY is somewhat more adopted, though it's still very new.

[OJFord]

  POST /gql
  "Get thing"
  ...
  200
  "Permission denied to get thing"

Hate it.

[andoando]

These verbs dont even make sense most of the time.
