REST Server: logical -> physical URI problems Can't Post
Hello Folks

I am writing a REST server, but struggling to see how I can dispatch the service calls correctly.

Currently I have a RewriteRule in .htaccess which redirects the REST compliant logical URI to my handler cgi script. The redirect works fine, but I am losing the parameters that were embedded in the logical URI.

There has to be a better way to do this (for performance reasons if nothing else) and there is next to nothing out there in terms of documentation.

I know that there is some Catalyst stuff for REST dispatching, but I don't want to go down that route if I can avoid it.

Anyone out there written a REST server ok? Can you provide any pointers?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

George

(I thought REST was supposed to be *simpler* than SOAP!)

Follow up -

If only I had RTFM - mod_rewrite documentation explains how to extract values from the logical URI and pass them to your program.

Performance also seems ok, although I haven't really stress tested the service yet.

Hope this helps anyone else who may be wrestling with this stuff.

Of course if you know a better way to dispatch REST calls, please let me know!

Cheers

George
