You can issue a non-idempotent PATCH. Though you are advised not to, it is possible. Therefore, an intermediary cannot assume that the request is safe to retry. A PUT is by definition idempotent. A PATCH, like POST, is only idempotent under (secret, non-obvious) conditions. --MartinReceived on Tuesday, 28 February 2012 16:30:53 GMT
