there been quite good thread on rest urls in SO.
Is this a bad REST URL? Understanding REST: Verbs, error codes, and authentication
I see a good resource here as well.
The question is how to represent the create and edit forms urls. The So links doesn't clearly say that, but the microformats links suggest
GET /people/new
return a form for creating a new record
GET /people/1/edit
return a form to edit the first record
Not being too religious about using verbs in url, wonder whether there a better option to represent the same.
