- /// The POST method is used to request that the origin server accept the entity enclosed in the request as a new subordinate of the resource identified by the Request-URI in the Request-Line.
- /// POST is designed to allow a uniform method to cover the following functions:
- /// <list type="bullet">
- /// <item><description>Annotation of existing resources;</description></item>
- /// <item><description>Posting a message to a bulletin board, newsgroup, mailing list, or similar group of articles;</description></item>
- /// <item><description>Providing a block of data, such as the result of submitting a form, to a data-handling process;</description></item>
- /// <item><description>Extending a database through an append operation.</description></item>
- /// </list>
- /// The actual function performed by the POST method is determined by the server and is usually dependent on the Request-URI.
- /// The posted entity is subordinate to that URI in the same way that a file is subordinate to a directory containing it,
- /// a news article is subordinate to a newsgroup to which it is posted, or a record is subordinate to a database.
- /// The action performed by the POST method might not result in a resource that can be identified by a URI. In this case,

- /// If the Request-URI does not point to an existing resource, and that URI is capable of being defined as a new resource by the requesting user agent,
- /// the origin server can create the resource with that URI. If a new resource is created, the origin server MUST inform the user agent via the 201 (Created) response.
- /// If an existing resource is modified, either the 200 (OK) or 204 (No Content) response codes SHOULD be sent to indicate successful completion of the request.
- /// If the resource could not be created or modified with the Request-URI, an appropriate error response SHOULD be given that reflects the nature of the problem.

- /// However, the server SHOULD NOT indicate success unless, at the time the response is given, it intends to delete the resource or move it to an inaccessible location.
