rest - RESTful PUT and DELETE and firewalls -


In the classic "Race Web Services" book (O'Reilly, ISBN 978-0-596-52926-0) on page 251 "Some firewalls block http put and delete, but do not post."

Is it still true?

If this is true, then I am allowed to overload the order in place of the deletion

< P> Putting / blocking firewalls are usually blocking the incoming connection (server behind the firewall). Assume that you have control over protecting your application on the firewall, you do not have to worry about it.

In addition, firewalls are only deeply monitoring on network traffic, then only block put / delit. Analyzing the encryption url will prevent the firewall, so if you are using HTTPS (you are protecting your data with SSL, is not it?) Client is one of the standard four HTTP verbes to access your web service. Will be able to use.
