Bare HTTP is Not Fully RESTful - A Deeper Look at REST Architectural Style and How HTTP Shows Protocol Deficiencies

Here I'll try to map this concept into the HTTP 1.1 protocol (though it applies to HTTP/2 as well) to show that bare HTTP is not suitable to fully host RESTful communication. To illustrate my way of thinking, I'll use an extended music player example from the previous article. I will associate every song with a number of playlist names it can be referenced by to bulk up representations.
