Implement write and delete for HTTP services

[Xuanwo]

Although there is no standard API for writing and deleting operations over generic HTTP services. But implementing customized writing and deleting operations is still useful, especially for testing.

• For write: Use PUT or POST
• For delete: Use DELETE

FWIW...

Solid is w3c standard for enabling interoperable read-write web, that enables storage decoupled, decentralized web applications.

It's interaction model has two kinds of resources:

1. Containers: analogous to directory. Has containment rdf gaph as their representations.
2. Non containers: Any other rdf or non rdf resources.

It also supports notion of auxiliary resources.

Standardizes following operations:

1. HEAD, GET, PATCH, PUT, DELETE on any resource.
2. POST on container resource to create children.

It's PUT allows creating non existing parent containers automatically.

It standardizes uri slash semantics too.

Along with above, it standardizes decentralized oidc identity provider, authentication via web-id (one to one), or through oidc flows. And has access control mechanism.

Solid protocol will be w3c recommendation soon (Currently ED, with v0.9). Has few companies (like inrupt, headed by w3c chief himself) already providing enterprize implementations. And exists popular oss implementations. Has growing number of apps. Adopted by few govts for providing decentralized services for their citizens.

Interesting! Sounds like we can implement a solid service then.
