Hello, I am trying to create a RESTful application Server. I am going to use the RestLet framework. As i am designing the URL's i have some questions. This app server is going to be the backend for an iPhone app. The app will require authentication
So here is where i get a little confused with the design. The app will make a call to http://mydomain.com/api/users/{userid}/apps/ this will return a XML with the available apps and their URI's here is where i can not seem to connect the dots, and i would like to do this correctly the restful/reslet way. if they goto directly http://mydomain.com/api/users/{userid}/apps/ initially they will get a 401 (unauthorized) With this app they can not do anything without being authenticated In my application i am using the CookieAuthenticator I do not understand the correct way for this client to start Should the app initially POST username and password to https://mydomain.com/api/users ?? thanks for any help ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2699439
