I would like to know which http method I should use when doing a login request, and why? Since this request creates an object (a user session) on the server, I think it should be POST, what do you think? Same But since the login request should be idempotent, it could be PUT, couldn't it?

Same question for a logout request, should I use the DELETE method?
