AOL Contact API and AIM Buddy API
I've searched the AOL Developer network and found a Contacts API page that says "coming soon" and is dated last year. I've checked the SDK and APIs and found some AIM Buddy references... I'm looking for documentation on retrieving contact email addresses on behalf of users based on their AOL email login. Am I missing something or i...
Can you provide information or links that discuss using resource state over session or DB state?
There is a talk here by Stefan Tilkov, where he is describing REST architecture at its core. I haven't watched all of it, but in the portion where he talks about the 5 Principles of REST (slides 12-19) he mentions maintaining state through the resource (i.e. -- the URI). His example is a shopping cart. Usually the state of your shopping ...
Setting up a Restful POST request using xml
Hi, I'm working on setting up a RESTful request for the application I'm working on and I wanted to use xml as the request in the uri instead of allowing the client to supply the parameters in the URI itself. I'm looking to have the URI like so: someurl/service/request instead of: someurl/service/request?id={id}&name={name} I have...
Javascript authentication
Hello, are there any solutions to implement REST authentications for clients using only Javascript? Because the Javascript code is always readable by anyone. I've read many posts about REST authentication here but didn't found any ansers. ...
WCF - Rest and JSON Operation Parameters
Hi there, I'm implementing a generic restful api in WCF. I require access to a generic object deserialized from JSON (as a parameter to a POST operation). I'm using the raw programming model to permit fine-grained control of the return format. For example: // Create [OperationContract(Name = "CreateJSON")] [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "{en...
asp.net MVC and RESTful routing, rails-style. Is it possible?
Is there any way to get truly restful routing working in MVC, just like the rails dudes have? I 'm talking about nested urls like /bands/metallica/albums/killemall/track/4 The only library that I found to be useful is Steve Hodgkiss' Restful routing. It seems though a bit risky to base my whole project's routing on this guy's pet-projec...
Mapping Complex Type in REST Enabled WCF Service
I m trying to rest-ify our existing WCF service and one of the hurdle is mapping complex type using Uritemplate. For example take a look at the below code [DataContract] public class Stock { [DataMember] public string Symbol { get;set; } [DataMember] public double FaceValue { get; set; } } [ServiceContract] public inter...
Calling wcf rest service from jquery doesn't work
I have written a really simple wcf rest service which seems to work fine when I make requests to it through fiddler but I cannot get it to work when calling it from JQuery.

What tools are available to auto-generate ASP.NET MVC REST services from domain objects?
I am developing an application for which I want to expose the basic CRUD operations on most of the database entities through REST web services. A colleague has demonstrated some impressive code generation using Grails. I would like to be able to generate my REST services as well, but using ASP.NET MVC instead of Grails. I planning on u...
Methods for limiting the Rails render format to html
I have a Rails 2.1.2 site that only has html templates e.g. jobs.html.erb, so when I request a restful resource: www.mysite.com/jobs/1 It renders my job in html, however, if I request: www.mysite.com/jobs/1.xml I get the error: Template is missing Missing template jobs/show.xml.erb in view path c:/workspace/mysite/app...
HTTP MODIFY verb for REST ?
As far as I see, there's no RESTful way to apply a modification to a resource. In order to do it, you have to PUT the resource as a whole, overwriting the previous representation. I think this is source of problems, in particular when the resource has a large representation. I believe this hints at the lack of a verb in HTTP1.1 : somet...
Which (popular) websites support mashable APIs?
Which popular websites out there support an HTTP based API? I am looking for content of general public interest (hence, Amazon's RESTful API wouldn't qualify, for example). Some sites which I am aware of: Twitter Netflix Upcoming Google eBay Please note that Although not a direct programming question, it will help programmers fin...
OAuth's tokens and sessions in REST
The other minute I read an article on OAuth. It described especially the tokens being exchanged between client and service provider during a series of requests. The article also mentioned that OAuth gains significant popularity in RESTful APIs as authorization layer. As I understood, REST should be kept completely stateless. The questi...
Rails routing with date and has many
I've got the following setup: map.resources :articles map.resources :users, :has_many => [:articles] Which is fine as I can do /users/2/articles to get a list of articles by a given user. I also have a route setup to do: map.connect 'articles/month/:month/:year', :controller => 'articles', :action => 'index' Which works for find...

In REST how should I deal with a url element not conforming to a defined type ?
Say I have resource defined as /thing/{id}/ and my id is a int in the database ... What makes most sense in dealing with requests that ask for a resource which ins't an int like /thing/abc/ ? Should I do nothing and possibly let the server return 500? or catch the exception and return 404? or some other http error? or am I missing ...
Using JaaS with Jersey on Grizzly
I'm trying to find a simple, flexible way to add JaaS authentication to REST. I found a post that I think leads me in the right direction (See StevenC's answer). It sounds like the servlet container is responsible for security, not the Jersey code itself. I like this idea, but need a little guidance on implementation. Grizzly is my s...
Can Zend_Service_Rest do file uploads?
I assume that RESTful services is a comprehensive paradigm, that it also could cover file uploads too, as a subset of http operations. If so, how does one do file uploads in Rest and specifically, with Zend_Service_Rest? Should my client code somehow read the file and assign its content to some property of restful object? Or there is a...
