It's an architectural style to allow programs to communicate with stateless packets, internally or externally. For example, an HTTP client/server is a logical implementation of a REST design. Unlike the SOAP style, methods are uniform and resources follow a pattern. Please review the dissertati

Heyas Dzonatas, nice work. I think this approach needs serious consideration. Perhaps you can be so friendly as to explain to the list what defines REST, and why this approach is a RESTfull implementation? On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 10:21:06AM -0700, Dzonatas Sol wrote: > Here is a sample of the RES

WGET is part of linux. It should also be available on Windows: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm To compile, you can try these instructions: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Dzonatas_Sol/Communicator It compiles on Windows, but I don't distribute a binary -- just the patch.

Thank you. I've tried to keep it simple and minimal for everybody. For example: $ wget http://localhost:50140/Agent/Groups ... etc Earlier today I considered a way to keep a passive connection open, so that one can easily access the viewer from shell scripts. It's not hard for me to re-enabl

That looks very neat! SNOW-375 talks a lot about the MonoVida viewer, but I don't see any mention of that in your email below. Is MonoVida needed to try this out? I'm interested in just poking at the REST interface a bit with some raw http. I'll see if Opensource Obscure's build instructions on
