    906       <p id="rfc.section.7.1.2.p.1">Methods can also have the property of "idempotence" in that (aside from error or expiration issues) the side-effects of N
    907          &gt; 0 identical requests is the same as for a single request. The methods GET, HEAD, PUT and DELETE share this property. Also,
    908          the methods OPTIONS and TRACE <em class="bcp14">SHOULD NOT</em> have side effects, and so are inherently idempotent.
    909       </p>
    910       <p id="rfc.section.7.1.2.p.2">However, it is possible that a sequence of several requests is non-idempotent, even if all of the methods executed in that
    911          sequence are idempotent. (A sequence is idempotent if a single execution of the entire sequence always yields a result that
    912          is not changed by a reexecution of all, or part, of that sequence.) For example, a sequence is non-idempotent if its result
    913          depends on a value that is later modified in the same sequence.
    914       </p>
    915       <p id="rfc.section.7.1.2.p.3">A sequence that never has side effects is idempotent, by definition (provided that no concurrent operations are being executed
    916          on the same set of resources).
     906      <p id="rfc.section.7.1.2.p.1">Methods can also have the property of "idempotence" in that, aside from error or expiration issues, the intended effect of
     907         multiple identical requests is the same as for a single request. The methods PUT, DELETE, and all safe methods are idempotent.
     908         It is important to note that idempotence refers only to changes requested by the client: a server is free to change its state
     909         due to multiple requests for the purpose of tracking those requests, versioning of results, etc.
