Put Up Or Shut Up

We already know the numbers. Pew finds that 18% of Americans believe President Obama is a Muslim. A new Newsweek poll, taken after the controversy over the New York mosque, places that figure at 24%. Even if he's not a Muslim, Newsweek finds, 31 percent think it's "definitely or probably" true that Obama "sympathizes with the goals of Islamic fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world." When the focus is narrowed to Republicans, a Harris poll finds 57 percent of party members believe he is a Muslim, 22% believe he "wants the terrorists to win," and 24% believe he is the Antichrist. These figures sadden me with the depth of thoughtlessness and credulity they imply.

  • What is the difference between POST and PUT in HTTP?
    Prior to PUT, clients couldn't directly know the URL that the server generated or if all it had generated any or whether the data to be sent to the server is already updated or not. PUT relieved the developer of all these headaches. PUT is idempotent, PUT handles race conditions, and PUT lets the client choose the URL.

  • What is the difference between PUT, POST, and PATCH?
    PUT: The PUT method replaces all current representations of the target resource with the request payload. Use it for updating items. For example; create address ABC, overriding it, if it already exists. POST: The POST method submits an entity to the specified resource, often causing a change in state or side effects on the server.

  • What is the usefulness of PUT and DELETE HTTP request methods?
    PUT is for putting or updating a resource on the server: The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI. If the Request-URI refers to an already existing resource, the enclosed entity SHOULD be considered as a modified version of the one residing on the origin server.
