It really does not hinge on immediate or delayed processing aspect.  You
almost certainly did not intend for the "queue" to be one deep and for each
HTTP-PUT to *replace* the previous one.  HTTP-PUT encompasses the entire
resource identified by the URI.  HTTP-POST is much more inline with the "add
to queue" semantic that you are looking to achieve.
