How to move a REST resource?

Question

I\'m trying to move a resource from /buckets/1 to /buckets/2 such that:

Initial state

• /buckets/1 = foo
• /buckets/2 = HT

Answer 1

1. Create original resource:

   PUT /bucket/1

2. Call server procedure that responsible for moving resources:

   POST /bucket/1/move-to/2

3. Original resource path now should return Moved status code:

   GET /bucket/1 HTTP 301

4. Resource now should be available on new path:

   GET /bucket/2 HTTP 200
