I suppose looking back I do have a concept of a session which is state. So no, but I organized my verbs and URL's to meet the specification and have the option to remove those sessions.

But I guess since I'm using a cookie-based sessions its less of an issue for state changes since the state stays mostly on the client.



Agreed. Sessions and the limitations of forms are the biggest obstacles to 100% restful APIs used from web browsers.


You can however use XHR form submission[1] in the background (which is a good practice (better site responsiveness) after all) to use HTTP methods other than GET and POST.
