Establish a non-conventional path for a POST

[billc]

I have a server with non-conventional ReST POST paths. How can I establish a collection_path specific for POST operations.

Example:

For POSTing a comment "activities/:activity_id/comment"
For POSTing an account "account/:client_id", where client id is supplied in the URL

her is designed for RESTful APIs. I don't think we should break with this and add the complexity to deal with non-RESTful APIs.

Doing some added research, I found Issue 176 that exhibits the desired behavior for example 2 above. For example 1, I am testing using the collection_path but my obstacle is it only should apply to the POST operation.

I agree with your comment @pencil. Although, I don't want to introduce non-resource oriented APIs I've gone so far with Her. I am just checking to see if there are options to work around that I have not seen yet.

Yes, currently you probably have the behaviour you are looking for. But only because of the bug described by #176. This is not by design and will (hopefully) change in the future 😄

You could fallback to post_raw, put_raw, ... to achieve the behaviour you are looking for. Doing so in a global base model all other models inherit from would probably be the cleanest solution.

Closing this for now as there are no plans to make her compatible with non-RESTful APIs.
