> The documentation refers to a "REST" API over and over, and yet I don't see a REST API. I see an HTTP API but not a REST API. Here are a few things the HTTP API does that are not RESTful:
> * Offers RPC verbs instead of resources/nouns. (E.g. schema API has commands like "add-field", "add-copy-field", etc.)
> * Tunnels non-idempotent requests (like creating a core) through idempotent HTTP verb (GET).
> * Tunnels deletes through HTTP GET.
> * PUT/POST confusion, POST used to update a named resource, such as the Blob API.
> * Returns `200 OK` HTTP code even when the command fails. (Try adding a field to your schema that already exists. You get `200 OK` and an error message hidden in the payload. Try calling a collections API when you're using non-cloud mode: `200 OK` and an error message in the payload. Gah.)
> * Does not provide link relations.
> * HTTP status line contains a JSON payload (!) and no 'Content-Type' header for some failed commands, like `curl -X DELETE http://solr:8983/solr/admin/cores/foo`
> * Content negotiation is done via query parameter (`wt=json`), instead of `Accept` header.
