What is a partial put?

andreineculau commented 6 years ago

some info can be found in it's counter-part process_partial_put https://github.com/for-GET/http-decision-diagram/blob/c09718316ac87237f3a600016ec14dece4854523/doc/README_process.md#process_partial_put-bin

and in RFC 7231 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.4

An origin server that allows PUT on a given target resource MUST send a 400 (Bad Request) response to a PUT request that contains a Content-Range header field (Section 4.2 of [RFC7233]), since the payload is likely to be partial content that has been mistakenly PUT as a full representation. Partial content updates are possible by targeting a separately identified resource with state that overlaps a portion of the larger resource, or by using a different method that has been specifically defined for partial updates (for example, the PATCH method defined in [RFC5789]).

Let me know if this doesn't clarify your question.

Is there a list of descriptions of these decision labels? It's very difficult to follow the flow looking at these relatively obscure labels.

I currently don't have any other docs, except for https://github.com/for-GET/http-decision-diagram/tree/master/doc What may be useful is to look at an early PoC based on the diagram https://github.com/for-GET/machine/tree/master/src/FSMResource
