My thinking was that the server should not have to disclose the status 
of the request. 204 means the request contained all required headers and 
the URI was valid.

By using a POST with 202, we would also be in violation of a SHOULD 
level requirement (safeness of GET is also a SHOULD), since there 
shouldn't be response content at all.
