I recently read a post by Tim Bray where he states that building on web technologies
let you get away with believing some of the fallacies
of distributed computing.
I personally thinks he is a little optimistic in that claim.
On The network is reliable Tim says that that the connectionless
of HTTP helps (it does) and that GET, PUT and DELETE are idempotent helps as well.
I say that GET, PUT and DELETE only if the people implementing the server side make
them so ...
