No, as the REST idea gives the following mappings:
2 of these html actions (PUT and DELETE) aren’t normally supported by browsers so REST frameworks tend to use some fudging to allow them through browsers.
There’s also a lot of design philosophy in creating a RESTful application, so it’s not really possible to have something ‘automatically’ restful. There’s a lot of discussion between some groups as to what REST actually entails as well.
