Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (ODATA-37) UPSERT: allow PUT to create new entities


     [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-37?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ralf Handl updated ODATA-37:
----------------------------

    Description: 
HTTP semantics of PUT allows inserting new entities; PUT specifies the desired after-image.

This is desirable in some cases and saves GET requests to check for existence.

If the client only wants to update existing resources, it MAY include an If-Match header, either with a specific ETag value, or with "*".

RFC2616, section 14.24 explicitly describes If-Match:* for "update only if existing".

If ODATA-39 is applied as proposed, the new paragraph in section 8.2.4 must be relaxed to allow inserting new entities without specifying an If-Match request header.
