I gave no indication because the problem I mentioned apply on both REST and not-REST applications. Imagine you are creating a webapp for blog posts; to insert a new entry you would fill a form (title and body) and then sumbit those data to the right URI (posts/add). Now, to edit an already submitted post, you would fill a form (similar to the previous but containing the post id as an hidden field) and then submit the data to the server (posts/edit). You will agree with me that the edit action, with or without the form, is still in need of validating the input id: update the post if valid, otherwise discard the request. Then my question is: CakePHP has something which updates a record only if provided id is valid or should I have to wrap the aforementioned logic?
