Hello Mate, Sorry, basically my client is parsing/posting to the web service using python, and the python SOAP library is really shitty and has a lot of issues with it, whereas the REST library for python is quite excellent and would be a great deal simpler to implement, I think that's his reasoning behind wanting me to publish it in REST.
If this is going to be a real pain (which is looks as if it's going to be) then we'll just have to stick with SOAP and he'll have to work around any problems he has. Thanks mate, Rob -----Original Message----- From: Zaphod Beeblebrox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 August 2007 16:08 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: REST Webservices hmmmm....that's really a wide description from the client. It may mean that he only wants the results returned as straight xml. It may also mean that he wants cleaner urls like http://www.myservice.com/users vs http://www.myservices.com/index.cfm?method=getUsers or http://www.myservice.com/users/1 vs http://www.myservice.com/index.cfm?method=getUser&user_id=1 On 8/17/07, Robert Rawlins - Think Blue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Chaps, > > > > This is just a quick 'start the ball rolling' kind of message.
