REST user authentication

Modifying returned MIME type of C# WebMethod
I have a web service implemented in VS2005/C#. The ASMX page has a few web methods that are pure SOAP, and I want to add an additional method that has a RESTful interface.

Using my own Joomla 1.5 component, module, or plugin, how would I turn a request for a REST URL like foo.com/api/... into relevant echo()s on the page? I'm looking for a "hello, world"-level example, if possible. For example, foo.com/api/baskets/10/fruits/list.json might result in something like the following text on the page: -- resou...

Implementing a REST api which switches between XML and JSON in Servlets

Non-blocking HTTP requests in object-oriented PHP?
I have a PHP client application that is interfacing with a RESTful server. Each PHP Goat instance on the client needs to initialize itself based on information in a /goat request on the server (e.g. /goat/35, /goat/36, etc.). It does this by sending an HTTP request to its corresponding URL via cURL. Working with 30+ goat objects per page...
How to handle or prevent "Only post requests are allowed" error in Ruby on Rails?

To consume a RESTful web service in C#, should I use HttpWebRequest?
How do I consume a RESTful web service in C# code? NOTE: by RESTful, I mean non-SOAP. For example, in the flickr API you can call their web service as follows to return JSON data: http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags=cats&tagmode=any&format=json Do I simply use HttpWebRequest? What if I'm using a web se...

A problem of webservice calling in rails
In rails, as the "open" method of 'rest-open-uri' package can help call restful webservice. In a project, I can use that method to call restful webservice of other projects.

Alternatives to YQL
This is a multi-part question. I just watched a very interesting presentation on YQL by the lead developer (a graduate of my MS program). While it was very compelling, and I am looking forward to trying it out, I am wondering if anyone knows of alternative frameworks for querying multiple web service APIs to make them appear seamless, th...
Form based login while also applying REST principles
I am a Spring/JavaEE web programmer and am starting to investigate the principles of REST for future web applications, but I can't figure out how to do usable logins. For a Web API it makes sense, but what about end user facing web applications? I have looked into the HTTP Basic/Digest Authentication but that only produces an ugly dialog...

So I am working on a webservice to access our weather forecast data (10000 locations, 40 parameters each, hourly values for the next 14 days = about 130 million values). So I read all about RESTful services and its ideology. So I understand that an URL is adressing a ressource. But what is a ressource in my case? The common use case ...
