What is PUT?
PUT: The HTTP method that replaces the entire resource at a URL with the data in the request body, or creates it if absent. Sending the same request twice leaves the server in the same state, so it is idempotent.
PUT: an example
PUT /profiles/8 with a full profile document overwrites every field of profile 8.
