api - 为什么 Stripe 使用 Post 方法来更新资源

Question

According to the RFC Put is used to update an existing resource.
但是，Stripe API 使用 Post更新对象。为什么是这样？
例如，在 Stripe Node Library

  update: stripeMethod({
    method: 'POST',
    path: '{id}',
  }),

update method电话 POST我知道没有 Patch方法，因为每次调用都必须发送整个资源，为什么是 Put在那种情况下不使用 HTTP 动词？
(与来自 an SO question about the Facebook API 的示例不同，资源可以通过 URL 中传递的单个 ID 进行标识)例如 URL 只是 /v1/customers/:id

有趣的问题!来自 your link :

The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under thesupplied Request-URI. If the Request-URI refers to an alreadyexisting resource, the enclosed entity SHOULD be considered as amodified version of the one residing on the origin server. [emphasis mine]

这意味着您必须 PUT整个资源(变化和非变化)。很少有 API 是这样设计的。
来自 spec for POST :

The POST method is used to request that the origin server accept theentity enclosed in the request as a new subordinate of the resourceidentified by the Request-URI in the Request-Line. POST is designedto allow a uniform method to cover the following functions:

• Annotation of existing resources;

许多/大多数 API 已采用 POST作为更新对象的方式。
