How to move posts using REST API?

Hi there,

we're trying to build an Admin App using Lithium's REST API. We can't find a way to move posts/messages though. The usual suspects in the REST API JavaDoc "Message" and "MessageDiscussion" don't seem to offer a method/call to perform a move. Any ideas?

    Sadly, there is no REST API method to move a message. The only way to do that through rest would be to create a new message and delete the old one.

      Thanks for your reply.

      :( Not what we wanted to hear. Can you comment on whether this is planned for a future REST API extension?

        We're looking at adding this in now. No specific timeframe yet, but we're investigating. Hopefully a short-term thing (i.e. possibly within next couple months).
