> Blaming REST For The Non-RESTfulness Of Fake "REST"
As I said in another thread here, people don't get what REST is because the original paper has done (IMHO) a poor job as explaining what it is about,masking simple concepts behind complicated sentences (academia style).
Instead of being pedantic,arrogant and borderline insulting , which is unnecessary to make a point, it would be simpler and more useful to say that it is just about taking advantage of "natural" HTTP features and some web concepts such as hyperlinks. So there is no such thing as "fake REST" if one's intent is exactly that. Me not using content negotiation for API versioning doesn't my API fake REST.
Too bad because the OP makes a few interesting points , but they are drown into some hateful garbage.
