PUT overwrites document content.

Shouldn't PUT requests be for updating key/value pairs within a document, and POST for overwriting/creating a document? PUT behaves the same as POST in this instance.

PUT is idempotent by nature. If you want to use PUT to update a resource, it must be a full resource update; you MUST send all attribute values in a PUT request to guarantee idempotency.

• POSTting TWICE to /accounts SHOULD create two accounts.

• PUTting to /accounts SHOULD fail (nothing to update).

• POSTting TWICE to /accounts/jnovack SHOULD result in 1 account with exactly the same data (perhaps, save for last-modified).

• PUTting TWICE to /accounts/jnovack SHOULD result in 1 account with exactly the same data (perhaps, save for last-modified).
