我正在构建一个允许客户端存储对象的服务器。这些对象是在客户端完全构造的，对象id在对象的整个生命周期内都是永久的。
我已经定义了API，以便客户端可以使用PUT创建或修改对象:
PUT /objects/{id} HTTP/1.1
...
{json representation of the object}
{id}是对象id，所以它是Request-URI的一部分。
现在，我也在考虑允许客户端使用POST创建对象:
POST /objects/ HTTP/1.1
...
{json representation of the object, including ID}
由于POST意味着“追加”操作，我不确定在对象已经存在的情况下该做什么。我应该把请求作为修改请求，还是应该返回一些错误代码(哪个)?

我的感觉是409冲突是最合适的，但是，在野外当然很少见到:
The request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource. This code is only allowed in situations where it is expected that the user might be able to resolve the conflict and resubmit the request. The response body SHOULD include enough information for the user to recognize the source of the conflict. Ideally, the response entity would include enough information for the user or user agent to fix the problem; however, that might not be possible and is not required. Conflicts are most likely to occur in response to a PUT request. For example, if versioning were being used and the entity being PUT included changes to a resource which conflict with those made by an earlier (third-party) request, the server might use the 409 response to indicate that it can't complete the request. In this case, the response entity would likely contain a list of the differences between the two versions in a format defined by the response Content-Type.
就我个人而言，我倾向于WebDAV扩展422不可处理实体。
根据RFC 4918
422不可处理实体状态码意味着服务器理解请求实体的内容类型(因此415不支持的媒体类型状态码是不合适的)，并且请求实体的语法是正确的(因此400坏请求状态码是不合适的)，但无法处理包含的指令。
另一个潜在的治疗方法是使用PATCH。PATCH被定义为改变内部状态的东西，不局限于追加。
PATCH将通过允许您更新已经存在的项目来解决这个问题。参见:RFC 5789: PATCH
在检查重复记录的正确代码时偶然发现了这个问题。
请原谅我的无知，但我不明白为什么每个人都忽略了代码“300”，它清楚地表示“多项选择”或“模棱两可”
在我看来，这将是构建非标准或特定系统供自己使用的完美代码。我也可能是错的!
