简单来说，你可以说:

1.HTTP Get:用于获取一个或多个条目

2.HTTP Post:用于创建条目

3.HTTP Put:用于更新条目

4.HTTP补丁:用于部分更新项目

5.HTTP删除:用于删除项目

最近，我对web开发人员的一个流行误解感到非常恼火，他们认为POST是用来创建资源的，而PUT是用来更新/更改资源的。

如果你看一下RFC 2616的第55页(“超文本传输协议- HTTP/1.1”)，第9.6节(“PUT”)，你会看到PUT实际上是干什么的:

PUT方法要求将所包含的实体存储在所提供的Request-URI下。

还有一个方便的段落解释了POST和PUT之间的区别:

The fundamental difference between the POST and PUT requests is reflected in the different meaning of the Request-URI. The URI in a POST request identifies the resource that will handle the enclosed entity. That resource might be a data-accepting process, a gateway to some other protocol, or a separate entity that accepts annotations. In contrast, the URI in a PUT request identifies the entity enclosed with the request – the user agent knows what URI is intended and the server MUST NOT attempt to apply the request to some other resource.

它没有提到更新/创建之间的区别，因为这不是它的重点。这是关于这两者之间的区别:

obj.set_attribute(value) # A POST request.

这:

obj.attribute = value # A PUT request.

所以，请停止这种流行的误解的传播。阅读rfc。

GET: Retrieves data from the server. Should have no other effect. PUT: Replaces target resource with the request payload. Can be used to update or create a new resource. PATCH: Similar to PUT, but used to update only certain fields within an existing resource. POST: Performs resource-specific processing on the payload. Can be used for different actions including creating a new resource, uploading a file, or submitting a web form. DELETE: Removes data from the server. TRACE: Provides a way to test what the server receives. It simply returns what was sent. OPTIONS: Allows a client to get information about the request methods supported by a service. The relevant response header is Allow with supported methods. Also used in CORS as preflight request to inform the server about actual the request method and ask about custom headers. HEAD: Returns only the response headers. CONNECT: Used by the browser when it knows it talks to a proxy and the final URI begins with https://. The intent of CONNECT is to allow end-to-end encrypted TLS sessions, so the data is unreadable to a proxy.

PUT是一种将内容“上载”到特定URI或覆盖该URI中已有内容的方法。

另一方面，POST是提交与给定URI相关的数据的一种方式。

参考HTTP RFC

据我所知，PUT主要用于更新记录。

POST -创建文档或任何其他资源 PUT—更新创建的文档或任何其他资源。

但要清楚的是，PUT通常“替换”现有的记录，如果它在那里，如果它不在那里创建。

只有语义。

HTTP PUT应该接受请求体，然后将其存储在由URI标识的资源中。

HTTP POST更为通用。它应该在服务器上发起一个操作。该操作可以是将请求体存储在由URI标识的资源中，也可以是不同的URI，也可以是不同的操作。

PUT类似于文件上传。对URI的put操作恰好影响该URI。对URI的POST可以产生任何效果。
