[Openstreetmap-dev] Returning the whole data instead of the id.

Huh?

There are two cases you want to do a PUT:
- uploading new nodes.
- updating existing nodes.

For the first case, you cannot do a prior GET, since it does not exist in
the database, right?

And for the second, you do not need to catch the ID in answer, since you
already know it or else you could not update the node, right? (And I think
the server does not return anything on updates anyway...)

It does matter if you compare the values you stored in your client to the
values in the server to detect changes that might be made by the user.


Ciao, Imi.
