---------------------------------------------------------------

If I said PUT was the same as POST then I'd probably be seriously criticized at the very least :-). My point was, that neither verb is probably that semantically close for the type of the action Tika Server supports. Typically I prefer just to get things done though risking sometimes writing a possibly not very pure REST code :-). However you are right forms do not support PUT hence I guess I'd be better to have POST across the board for the sake of consistency. And if you agree - then keeping PUT for 1.8 as deprecated and removing in 1.9

> It would be a better use of REST/HTTP "verbs" to use POST to put content to a resource where we don't intend to store that content (which is the implication of PUT). Max suggested adding:
> {code}
> @POST
> {code}
> annotations to the methods we are currently exposing using PUT to take care of this.
