Hello everybody,
I'm I have one dilema. I have only the URL of the web page or the RESTful web service but I dont know if it is web page or RESTful web service. Is it possible to make distinction beween web page and RESTful web service at runtime?
Thank you!
A web page is a RESTful Web Service.
Most likely not unless the RESTful Service has some special http header to identify itself or uses some special mimetype that's not html.
Check the content-type header of the response. A web service should return an HTTP-compliant document that is not of the "text/html" variety. Usually you can expect XML or JSON, but a service could return an image, plain text or other data that doesn't comply to those formats.
Read RESTful Web Services for a more complete description.
