Editorial contextRoy Fielding and the Method That Named an Intention, Not a Permission, An HTTP request begins with a compact public word. That word can tell a client, cache or intermediary what kind of result is being sought. It cannot say who is entitled to obtain it, whether the target will comply, or what happened after a connection failed. The architecture associated with Roy Fielding is useful precisely where that word stops.Medium confidence
