Re: LiveCode's http methods

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Alain,

A while back I released an early preview version of Quartam HTTP Library.
It is a non-liburl implementation on top of pure LiveCode sockets so it doesn't 
work on mobile.
And it doesn't currently have authentication support so very much a work in 
progress.
But it could serve your purposes for now, and you could give me a hand to 
improve it :-)

It's available under the commercial-friendly GNU LGPL license.
Download it here:

HTH,

Subject: LiveCode's http methods
 


Hello,

Does LiveCode support HTTP-methods other than GET and POST ?

IOW, does LiveCode support the following http-methods : HEAD, PUT, DELETE

I'm asking because there are web-based CRUDs that could therefore be leveraged. 
Ex: Couch-DB


CRUD = Create, Read, Update, Delete

Create = PUT

Read  = GET

Update = POST

Delete = DELETE

If it is not currently implemented, are there any bounty-hunters wishing to 
take this on ?

Btw Couch-DB is a powerful noSQL database, open-source of-course, that is 
accessed via HTTP. 

It's speciality is replication and synchronization. Supports any topology: 
master-slave, peer-to-peer, etc.
Couch stores everything as JSON, which is JavaScript's native data-exchange 
format.
JSON is used by many applications. It's easy to generate, and easy to parse.


This could REALLY open-up things for RunRev!  :-))

Alain,

I haven't heard your name in so long.  Good to hear from you again.  My son 
Jason and I are currently working on this very thing.  I believe you've found 
your bounty-hunters.  We'd love to explore CRUD via http.  What we have to 
offer right now is what we've discovered uploading/downloading files in various 
file formats.

It seems the only thing we're missing is delete.  That is, if we can read we 
can certainly edit what we've read and thenPut, thus accomplishing the Update 
part of CRUD.  Our next tasks include deleting files as well as creating and 
deleting directories, in addition to listing the contents of directories.

We're working with standard Linux/Apache using MySql.
