I just ran across HTSQL (http://htsql.org/) a few moments ago. I haven't looked at it much, yet, but it seems like an intriguing idea.
Suppose we did this: (1) Add a small assortment of VIEWs and/or VIRTUAL TABLEs to Fossil that allow things like timelines and branch lists to be queried as if they were plain old tables. (2) Add an HTSQL-like interface to Fossil that returns results in either HTML, XML, or JSON. (3) Add a single command that lets you easily submit any URL request from the command-line. (The "http" command is close to this already, but it would be better if you could put the URL as an argument on the command-line rather than having to pipe it into standard input.) I'm not exactly sure what problem the above solves, but it seems interesting all the same. Please do not hesitate to expression confirming or contrary opinions... -- D. Richard Hipp [email protected]
