Pat,

Everything looks good!

Regarding your reflection on GET and POST requests in e-commerce:
|
|
|
|
> 1. The "shopping cart" interface on an online store might be a series

|
|
> Part of the response would be an update to the shopping cart and on
|
|
> something like Amazon, the indicator in the corner telling you how many
|
|
> items are currently in your cart. I feel like the product page would
|
|
> bet a GET and adding an item to cart would be a POST?
|
|
|
|
This sounds right. One helpful way of thinking is that GET requests should
|
|
not cause any changes, while POST requests should cause some kind of change.
|
|
Therefore, it's safe to re-issue the same GET request over and over (e.g.
|
|
reloading a webpage) but the same is not true of POST requests.
