Updating Avatar endpoint #296

Closed scruffyfox closed 11 years ago

scruffyfox commented 11 years ago

Due to the nature of REST and the fact that you're 'updating' your avatar, surely the endpoint should be a PUT rather than POST?

Technically we're actually creating a new resource when you "update" your avatar so POST makes sense for us in that context. The alternate response is, we're not trying to adhere too strictly to REST :)
