Hi, we are currently migrating our PHP shindig deployment to the current trunk. While testing the os:HttpRequest Tag I came around a significant difference between the PHP Shindig and the tutorial in the OpenSocial wiki.
http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=OpenSocial_Templates_Developer%27s_Guide#Fetching_data_from_a_URL says that a Json construct like this { friends : [ { name: 'David', interests: 'Cooking', }, { name: 'Charles', interests: 'Hiking', }, { name: 'Mary', interests: 'Football', }, ] } can be fetched with <os:HttpRequest key="friends" href="http://myfriendsserver.com"/> and viewed with <li repeat="${friends}"> <span>Name: ${Cur.name} Hobby: ${Cur.interests}</span> </li> The current PHP implementation handles this a bit differently: <li repeat="${friends.result.content.friends}"> <span>Name: ${Cur.name} Hobby: ${Cur.interests}</span> </li> Here the first "friends" is the key of the os:HttpRequest, "result" and "content" come from the php implementation and the second "friends" is from the json object. Which is the right implementation and how is it done in the Java Shindig? I looked into the spec http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v09/OpenSocial-Data-Pipelining.html#HttpRequest and it seems that the PHP way is correct instead of the tutorial. Should I change the tutorial or submit a patch to the PHP Shindig?
