Method: POST

Method: GET

Endpoint: /object/mykey Response: {"value": "value1" }

Method: POST

Endpoint: /object Body: JSON: {"mykey" : "value2"} Time: 6.05 pm Response: {"key":"mykey", "value":"value2", "timestamp": time } //Where time is timestamp of the new value (6.05pm).

Method: GET

Endpoint: /object/mykey Response: {"value": "value2" }

Method: GET

Endpoint: /object/mykey/timestamp=1440568980 [6.03pm] // notice that the time here is not exactly 6.00pm Response: {"value": "value1" } // still return value 1 , because value 2 was only added at 6.05pm

Note: use /object/mykey/timestamp=1440568980 instead of /object/mykey?timestamp=1440568980

Endpoint: /object/mykey/timestamp=1440568980
