1248305 - HTTP PUT on action that doesn't exist 404s instead of creating it

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Shield :: General, defect)

Description

[Osmose [:osmose, :mkelly]]

If you send a PUT request to the action API for an action that doesn't exist, instead of creating the action as you'd expect, it instead returns a 404 Not Found. This is some new behavior in Django Rest Framework since 3.0, apparently: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/generic-views/#put-as-create

I think we'd prefer to have it create the action, which is how we wanted to use it in the normandy-actions upload script.
