PUT, GET, DELETE are specified to be idempontent operations. It is the implementation of the actions on the specified resources which make that the case, or not. This is no different than any other platform for programming remote operations todate. For some types of computing, if idempotency is not an issue does that mean I can't use DELETE if I can't make that an idempotent operation of my service implementation?
