Hello; Most of the discussion around REST that I can find refers to HTTP as the only transport used. While I understand that REST is an Architectural Style,...
... [hvw] I'm not quibbling when I remark that HTTP is an application protocol, not a "transport". It's a protocol for apps that transfer hypertext messages ...
Hugh, ... There could be a lot of them, as long as they make sense when applied to *any* resource: example: GET /my/bank/account (good) example: LOCK...
... HTTP is not a transport protocol. Abusing HTTP to serve as a transport protocol is one of the things that can lead to people not taking advantage of the...
... [hvw] Excellent point. Further thoughts: One reason the web has been successful is that REST enabled all kinds of apps to run using this simple protocol....
You might say that message-oriented middleware (MOM) follows the REST architectural style. * resource identifier = topic/queue name + message ID vs. URI *...

And all notions of state management.... When I see "GET [uri]". I know what the response represents, and I know that the operation did not change the state of...
... Message buses can support hypermedia representations, just as HTTP can support non-hypermedia. Most messaging systems do support caching: clients can...
... So would I if that was what I wrote, but it isn't. Dissertations are a successful walk through a minefield -- summarizing them is not. One of the...
Hi people, I'm new in REST universe and I want to validate a user with a password using REST philosofy, but the unique method that I thought ... POST /auth...
One of the problems that I keep on bumping up against is "what's a good data model for a URI?" In particular, how do you represent the path? (For the purposes...
... I usually leave it as a single string, which makes it really easy to do pattern matching: <path>/foo/</path> I just wrote some code using your #1 (parsing...
... I treat paths as tuples delimited by '/', so /foo/bar and /foo/bar/ are both the {foo,bar} tuple. This abstraction hasn't caused any problems in terms of...
... Treating it as a tuple (foo,bar) works for me as well. BTW, when I see {foo,bar} my mind parses that as a set :)...

Lucas, Interesting paper, and one I had not seen before (as a relative newcomer to rest-discuss). One possible addition to your work: since many clients sit...
