Having pressed send, I thought about this some more. Ideally we should have a set of samples
demonstrating the use of cUrl with ooRexx and I wonder if it wouldn't be really nice if they
demonstrated using a restful interface with the JSON class.
I have code for a GET and a POST using JSON class with Mark's rexx/cUrl, but it was really a
novice scrabbling around in the dark. If anyone could produce samples demonstrating POST & GET,
along with PUT, PATCH & DELETE it would be a great resource.
This would be great IMHO, if you could come up with some short/simple samples
that demonstrate that!
It would also help Rexx programmers to take advantage of the json class, I am
sure!

I think that the usage section should briefly explain what cUrl is or what
cUrl does.
I remember the first time I met it as a Rexx programmer it was confusing.
Could be as simple as.
N.B.: This program uses "curl" to retrieve data and documents from the
internet on all platforms. You can find more information

Dave, could you look at the enclosed sample and give some feedback
whether it serves its
purpose (demonstrate the new ADDRESS...WITH in an understandable
manner)?

One of the many new great features of ooRexx 5.0.0 is the
ADDRESS...WITH variant.
In order to demonstrate how to use it, here an idea: have a sample
that uses curl
command (available
on all modern operating systems) to fetch the latest ooRexx
documentation files from
SourceForge and
download them into a subdirectory named docs.V, where "V" would be
the ooRexx
version. Supplying the
optional ooRexx version (e.g. "4.2.0", "5.0.0", "5.1.0beta", etc.)
would download
all the
documentation files from the given SourceForge oorexx-docs
directory.
What do you think, would that be a helpful sample to add to ooRexx?
