Honestly if you want to get a good sense of how REST works, I'd read Fielding's dissertation ( http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/top.htm), or check out any major web property's REST APIs. Is CFML-specific stuff something that's needed? I've been doing a lot of work with CouchDB lately (which is built for the most part on a RESTful API) so if that'd be helpful I could blog something. -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://blog.mattwoodward.com identi.ca / Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon official manual: http://www.openbluedragon.org/manual/ Ready2Run CFML http://www.openbluedragon.org/openbdjam/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
