Hi. I've been struggling with trying to apply REST to a project of mine, a decentralized P2P payment system using only IOUs passed between friends in a social...
This is a lot to digest... so this response isn't going to be extremely helpful. I do have a few questions though. ... By 'distributed objects' do you mean an...
Ryan, I've recently been thinking about something similar -- a p2p protocol for a generic object system (data, not behavior) based on a network database model....
REST != HTTP. HTTP provides a protocol that can be used REST-fully in many ways, but it can also be used non-REST-fully. I don't know the Jabber protocol,...
I'm lost. Perhaps if your applications was re-phrased using 'resource' rather than 'node' and 'object' I'd be able to understand. ... What is an 'originating...
On Tue, 5 Oct 2004 22:10:10 -0700, S. Mike Dierken <mdierken@...> ... Gotcha. ... Ripple is a P2P trust network of software node-agents living on http ...
Thanks for the input Bryan. I think I will be going with non-resolvable URIs (ie, URNs) to separate resource identity from resource location, as location is...
For me, once I understand the use cases (alice buys from bob, alice pays bob via ted) we could work on identifying resources. I actually think it's pretty...
I am using GET to retrieve bunch of data from the backend, I am using REST. As part of my GET request I am attaching a filter object in text/xml format well...
FWIW, since that posting I've come to realize that it isn't RESTful since there's an expectation on behalf of the client that the server will process the...
... I'm not quite sure I understand the problem, are you saying that there is an implicit expectation of the client that POSTing will always return the results...
... Sorry Joe, I thought this was the query-document-in/results-document-out idiom, not the separate resource being created. But no, I have the same issue...
... REST. ... You probably should re-examine the approach of using XML to represent a filter. Alternatively, you could create a new 'search' resource via POST,...
... I'm confused now. What can I expect after I've POSTed something to a resource? --Chuck...

... But in this case it's not being handled by a single resource but a set of resources, each that behaves uniformly with respect to the methods used. Said...
... The first resource - the one to which the query document is POSTed - does not present the same interface as other resources because it's meeting an...
... Mark, does that imply that any use of POST that makes expectations beyond any of the four functions for POST defined by HTTP is breaking the uniform API? ...
Hi Jan, ... Practically, probably, though I don't believe those four were meant to be exhaustive. But on the other hand, they do seem to cover everything that...
Hi Bud, I'm still trying to get my head around your problem. Is this correct? You are doing a GET, perhaps with some parameters URL encoded, but in addition...
Sorry, I forgot to respond to this ... ... If you get a 200 response, you can expect that the document was processed. Mark. -- Mark Baker. Ottawa, Ontario,...
From message 4566 ... ... and an entity body, otherwise it would be 204 (No content). From message 4564 ... I am not sure I see where this assertion comes...
Why not GET the URI to which the POST was directed with the URI of the query document as a URL query parameter? E.g., POST <query-document> to <some-uri> ... ...
Hi Bryan, That approach suffers from the same implementation dependency that I described with the other approaches, namely that there's an expectation by the...
... This brings up a nagging question in the back of head every time you raise this point. "Are idioms allowed?" That is, we have GET, PUT, POST and DELETE,...
Hi Joe, ... No, the POST invocation isn't RESTful by itself. In the examples people have given, the client expects that a particular POST invocation will...
... Thanks for taking the time to explain this. That makes much more sense to me, particulary the substitutability test, which I may start abbreviating s14y :)...
... Nonsense, Mark. Of course that is REST -- it is right in the HTTP standard. The client is *told* by the server the URI of the new resource. The client...
