Nope. Tiered applications and REST are not the same thing. REST only
defines constraints on how to handle identifiable resources. It doesn't
care whether you are trying to use a thin or thick client. It only
cares about the resources. You could have *all* of you business logic
in the client (with none on the server) and it still wouldn't matter to
REST. Note, however, that complex RESTful applications are difficult to
implement in a browser without using Javascript, Java, Flash, etc. The
very fact that browsers only support two HTTP methods is an indication
that they are not suited (by themselves) for the sort of thing you want
to do.
