> Idempotence is not the problem here, by the way. That just means calling the method twice has the same effect. But GET should have no side-effect, in an ideal world. Of course, in the case of unsubscribe links, it needs to have a side-effect to comply with the law.
Thank you! I felt like I was taking crazy pills with my understanding of idempotence.
Calling GET /door/open is idempotent too, but it's still gross in my opinion. The author makes it sound like that would be fine.
