Maybe not. > The POST method is used "to request that the origin server accept the > *entity* enclosed in the request as a new ***subordinate*** of the > resource identified by the Request-URI in the Request-Line." > > In contrast, the PUT method "requests that the enclosed *entity* be > stored *under the supplied Request-URI*." Unfortunately, one of the synonyms of "subordinate" is "under", so there's a degree of ambiguity here. One could interpret the two clauses as being identical, depending on one's semantic education. (I suspect your interpretation does correspond to the authors' intent, but it's certainly not 100% clear.) - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
