Most resources seem to be singletons – that is, the “create” action only creates one object. However, for a log parsing application I am writing, I would like to issue one large HTTP request to generate multiple objects at a time. This is purely for efficiency – I may be creating 100,000 items for each log I process, and I would rather do 100 posts of 1000 items than 100,000 of them. Does anyone have suggestions or sample code for this sort of thing, in a RESTful way? I know I can write a custom action (create\_multiple or something) but if there is a convention, I’d rather use it. Thanks! –Michael
