Hi, Let's try to explain it a little further. ... The system is foreseen to control a hardware device. The issue is that the device only accepts a subset of...
Hey all, The first week of This Week in REST is over (I think it was a successful test run) and you can find the collected links for last week (Jan 25 2010 –...

... I can't agree with that - and don't think the quote you dug up is referring to this specific issue. For a machine client, RESTing at a given steady state...
... Predefined application flows violate the hypermedia constraint and couple the server in a way that REST deliberately aims to avoid. As you know from my...

Thank you for your replies. I think both Craig and Eric agree that a collection of "links" to resources should be returned to the client in a form that is not ...
You might to check out the draft of the "Inlining"; extension for Atom: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mehta-atom-inline-01 I see it's expired as of...
... Really? Can you link to that? Was it the "MUST a collection be returned as an Atom feed?" thread? I didn't read any of Roy's comments that way... or maybe...
... Yep. http://www.imc.org/atom-protocol/mail-archive/msg11487.html ... The requirement that a GET on a collection returns an Atom feed. That is unRESTful...

... Ok... agree on the above, but how do you define 'collection'? To me it's something that has a set of 'entries'. So you get the hierarchy don't you? A...
But SHOULD is not SHALL, is a recommendation not a imposition... So not having a body on a 201 could not be considered a violation of the spec... Wich indeed...
Well, basically yes, is for synchronizing devices, but can be extended to other things. For example, we use (among other things) the Alert messages to pass...
I'll give it a try. I though I could make it using REST approach, but it seems it is not gonna be possible. Let's read and see if a flash comes ;) See you...
Mike, thank you for pointing out the draft inlining spec... it was interesting. Jan, I started off the thread suggesting a format similar to the one that you...
