I've been thinking a bit on how to do this. It should be trivial to implement in
Dispatch, but I want to run the syntax by everyone.
First off, I would like to allow users to be explicit or just use convention. So
you could have a rule like this:
'/app/:module/:rm' => { auto_rest => 1 }
And it would append the HTTP method name (lowercased?) to the run mode. So
'/app/module/entry' would become
Module->entry_get
Module->entry_post
Module->entry_delete
Module->entry_put
And if a method is attempted for which there is no run mode, then it would be
the normal rm-not-found thing.
Next, I'd like to allow users to be explicit in HTTP method mapping:
'/app/:module/stuff[get]' => { rm => 'get_stuff' }
Thoughts?
