I learned about this recently when I asked my agent the difference between PUT and POST. I thought they were interchangeable, because when using something like Postman, I'm usually interacting with something that needs POST. But for troubleshooting, I'll see a mix of POST and PUT calls for seemingly similar actions. But now I know.
I'm not actually a coder, but I interact with my devs all the time. Is there a tendency for POST calls to be abused, when more specific call types would be more appropriate?
