Hi, just found a design priciple that could be applied to my problem. Sean McGrath wrote[1] about differentiating between system components that produce data...
Leigh Dodds surveyed web services APIs for XTech 2005: http://idealliance.org/proceedings/xtech05/papers/02-07-04/ I wrote a detailed response based on my...
Lukas ... Yes, that is IMHO one of the biggest problems you face once you actually start to implement a system. I am having similar problems right now,...
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.cgi-prototype.user as well. I have been trying to...
... I'd say that you should use the accepted content-types to arbritrate between what content-type to return the resource in and use a parameter (or a cookie)...
... A web service would find out that it could POST about Brannon's /guestbook by doing a HEAD and looking at the suported methods. But how could a web service...

Nic, best would be to let the client discover the gestbook URI via hypermedia and to communicate the parameters to the client using RDFForms[1]. Jan [1]...
... Ok, I understand you now. Good idea (though my szenario is more complex and will definitely require manual additions for service checks (Nagios term). ...
... Take a google search for example. You get N entries on each page instead of the entire result set. Likewise, it is common to return retrieved records in...
... One way to think of large result-sets, especially using query-paramters, is "paramaterizing the resource space". E.g., one can think of google as an...
Hi, has anybody ever documented interactions of components in a RESTful system with UML sequence diagrams? I am particulary interested in clever ideas how to...
Jan, I'm not sure I get the problem of documenting calls that go through intermediaries. Is this any different from delegation in an object oriented model? ...
I am involved on a project that will most likely be offering a WebService API based on REST. There are questions I have regarding a specific aspect of this...
Claude, ... Sure, yes. ... Yes, that would be fine. Note though, that you propably should not use a verb in the URI since that implies an operation ...
... The operation behind this URL is an acquisition process in a sense that it does not return a device state. It tells the system to contact the device to...
... Hmm...is that important to the client? Isn;t the goal just to obtain the state? Why involve the client in anything that happens behind the scenes? Do a GET...
... [hvw] Oops. That's a bad operation for GET, because the GET has the side effect of changing the state of another resource (the one where you get the actual...
... Yes, this is important to the client. The system supports many goals, such as retrieving data, and also to tell the system to connect to the device "on...
Hi, the latest thread reminds me of something: It is a very common question on this list if some service API (meaning 'set of resources serving an overall...
Claude, ... I'd POST the device ID to e.g. http://server/acquisitions and have the server 'create a new aquisition object'. A GET on that would return it's...
Excellent points. ... You'd be suprised at how hard it is to touch components after they have been deployed at medium-to-large companies too. The two factors...
... Assuming the first goal, "retrieving data" is just to retreive device state information from database without changing anything, is it correct? When the...
... Absolutely. This is close to the API I am leaning to. Reading more on REST, I realize that I must think in term of resources as opposed to operations. So...
Hi, the coverage of the topic isn't really beyond mentioning it, but I think it is an interesting fact that REST is explicitly mentioned as an alternative to...
Hi, Forgive me is this is a standard newbie question... I'm developing a firefox extension that talks with a server via a RESTful API. Most REST discussions...

... I think you can reset the credentials by sending a request which causes the server to stop accepting the current credentials. That's just an idea, though...
