According to to specification, resource must be unique, therefore it is not 
allowed to have two same resources.

There are three possible ways on the server, two on the client side.

On the client side, the client may set the resource to something or let the 
server choose something for him.

On the server side, it is possible to drop the old (which is more logic, it 
can be some hanging connection that did not timeout yet), drop the new one or 
change the wanted resource. Yes, server can return different resource than 
client asked for and in this case, it may be a good solution sometimes.
