Hmm, didn't think about that. I guess you will need to have some kind of request body anyways. Do you think that the request method should be set in the data though, or should it be set in the header, since the method/header defines how the data should be interpreted? I know that's just splitting hairs, but there was some concern about keeping the api as clean as possible.
