Many parts of the HAPI spec seem to be in outright conflict with the established best practices and standards. E.g.
> A HAPI must support the HTTP GET verb on all operations.[1]
Contrast this with HTTP/1.1 RFC 2616:
> In particular, the convention has been established that the GET and HEAD methods SHOULD NOT have the significance of taking an action other than retrieval. These methods ought to be considered "safe".[2]
