> The /_uuid resource can happily return a response to a GET without being unresty. In fact, supporting POST is probably incorrect as it implies it would change server state.
> Quick summary:
> * _uuid never changes server state
> * calling _uuid multiple times does not impact other clients
> * that the resource returns something different each time it is requested does not mean it cannot be a POST
> * GET with proper cache control (i.e. don't cache it ever) will work equally well
