You are well on your way to REST enlightenment. 8-)

Read back over the "Generality of HTTP" thread.  HTTP methods provide
all the necessary "action" you'll ever need.

e.g.

GET /my-radio HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/radioml

response;

<radio>
 <volume>5</volume>
 <channel type="fm">102.1</channel>
</speaker>

PUT /my-radio HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/radioml
<speaker>
 <volume>9</volume>
 <channel type="am>1040</channel>
</speaker>

POST /my-radio HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: audio/mp3
[mp3 file goes here]
