You need to POST into the shopping cart on REST principles, because
that is what POST is for, creating a new resource related to the old
one. In this case, the new resource will be entitled "ERH Is Going To
Buy _Wittgenstein's Poker_", and a hyperlink will be added from the
cart resource to the newly created resource. When you actually do
buy this, using a POST or PUT transaction depending on the design,
it will become "ERH Has Bought ...".
