That idiot being me. I've read a bit about it at http://oauth.net/ , it's "a simple way to publish and interact with protected data" apparently. I think it's exactly what I need to provide a secure way of accessing data from an android/iphone app via a REST web service, but I can't work out exactly what it is. So, put simply, what exa...

For example, I wish to do the following: http://localhost:5000/service/get/ip/port instead of http://localhost:5000/service?ip=192.168.1.1&port=1 To return information for a given device. This would utilizes a fully REST-based i...

Here's my code: h = {:From => "123-123-1234", :To => "123-123-1234", :Body => "hey"} account = Twilio::RestAccount.new(ACCOUNT_SID, ACCOUNT_TOKEN) resp = account.request("/#{API_VERSION}/Accounts/#{ACCOUNT_SID}/SMS/Messages", 'POST', h) ...
This question is not about when to use GET or POST in general; it is about which is the recommended one for handling logging out of a web application. I have found plenty of information on the differences between GET and POST in the general sense, but I did not find a definite answer for this particular scenario. As a pragmatist, I'm in...

So send a few different status headers in my API including 404, 409, 201, 302 and the like. Now I'm running into issues with 401 Unauthorized. I'm currently sending it if a user is not logged in (the entire API is rights managed) or if a user doesn't satisfy the specific access requirements for the particular resource being retrieved/mod...
Has anyone got a RESTful WCF service (in .NET4) successfully using JSON.NET to do serialization/deserialization? What's the best approach? ...
What is the fastest way to create a list of RESTful services from data structure or simple XML files? (even with configuration files.) Is there any tools that can read a DB or a Python/Java/.Net class and generate RESTful services? Prefer something that runs on Apache or Tomcat. Programming language is not a concern, I just need to...
I am working on creating a toolbar application that will invoke a URL on the server and increase a User's points(as an incentive to use the toolbar). Right now the URL is a GET(I can and will change it to POST). The issue is, I need to make sure that someone cannot, using any sort of a hack, increase the points. The URL is ofcourse a pu...
I want to use REST in an Rails application that uses inherited_resources, but I want certain properties not to be revealed during json and xml request. Let's call that field 'password'. I know I can overwrite the to_xml and to_json methods and then super :except => [:password] But I would have to do that for to_xml and to_json. Not ...
I am developing several RESTful API for 3rd party to call, and these API need authentication (apikey & secret based), and authorization (HTTP method & URI based). Are there any existing software we can reuse that prevent me from rolling out our own implementation for the security layer? ...

The NOAA website has a great deal of information on how the data should be requested and how the resulting data is structured. I'm new to iOS development, so I just need a littl...
I trying to learn how to write RESTful apps in Java using Jersey and Hibernate, and I'm struggling to understand how to handle parent/child type relationships when POSTing data to a Resource. I'm using JSON to exchange data, but I don't think that's particularly relevant to my problem. The example I'm working with models the relationshi...
I am working on a powershell script to post json data to a REST interface and am getting (400) Bad Request on each time. I am new to this, and am unclear as to if/how I should be encoding the data.

I created a WCF REST (aka WebHttp) service in .NET 4, using Microsoft's WCF REST Service Template 40. I am hosting the service in IIS 6. The Service Template uses the RouteTable in the Global.asax as a way to create "clean" URL's that don't include ".svc" in them. For example: http:// localhost / flights / 878 GET and POST work fine a...
