Hi,

According to RFC 7231, a representation is a state of a given res=
ource

   For the pu=
rposes of HTTP, a "representation" is information that is
   intended to reflect a past, current, or desired state of a given
   resource, in a format that can be readily communicated via the
   protocol, and that consists of a set of representation metadata and a
   potentially unbounded stream of representation data.

and a payload in a POST request =
is also a representation.

   The POST method requests tha=
t the target resource process the
   representation enclosed in the request according to the resource's
   own specific semantics.

Then what is the resource which the representation enclosed i=
n the POST request reflects? I think the representation may not reflect a s=
tate of the target resource for the POST request.

Th=
anks in advance.

Best regards,
EungJun
