So instead of: 1. POST /{AWSAccessKeyId}/domains 2. 3. DomainName={DomainName} Just do: PUT /{AWSAccessKeyId}/domains/DomainName Now it's idempotent. :-) If you know what the URI will be ahead of time, you can use PUT to create a resource.

So instead of:

1. POST /{AWSAccessKeyId}/domains
2.
3. DomainName={DomainName}

Just do:

PUT /{AWSAccessKeyId}/domains/DomainName

Now it’s idempotent. :-)

I’d like to see the ability to handle multiple Items in a single request, especially when returning sets of data.

{ItemName} => {*} {1,2,4} or {1-10}

IMO, query strings should only be used for those things that can not be mapped into URIs. The URI path segments identify resource structure (as trees or graphs) more meaningfully. "Also, are you really suggesting: POST /{AWSAccessKeyId}/domains/{DomainName}/items/{ItemName}/attributes ? Or do you mean: POST /{AWSAccessKeyId}/{DomainName}/{ItemName}/attributes ?" For this example, either should be fine. I inserted "/domains", "/items" etc. for extensibility reasons. In future, you may insert other kinds of sub-resources. “Agree with the above that querystrings seem like a better approach for some of these thigns.”
