Title Body

I am building a client-side product with REST. All user interaction will be done with a browser (the config stuff will be on a server running on localhost). I want everything to be REST compliant, even though the application will be running on a client's machine on localhost and will never be accessible from the outside. The commands are pretty simple: update restart sync Here's what I've come up with: POST to / with 'action' parameter (JSON) detailing specifics PUT a new resource subsequent GET requests will return the status when the command is complete, the resource is deleted What would be the most RESTful way to implement this? Note: I'm not asking for scrutinization of my software architecture. I have reasons for choosing a REST interface instead of a unix domain socket, CLI interface, or even a regular GUI interface. The justification would overcomplicate the question and make it too localized. I have had the same need on a couple of different projects (both client only and server) and I am looking for community input on best practices.
