Hi Ed. This seems more like a question for the django-users list. django-dev is for the development *of* Django, not development *with* Django. Ask there, and I'm sure you'll get pointers to a lot of helpful resources.
For a start, you may want to take a look as Malcolm's recent multi-part series on the subject. Note the third one with regard to content-types. http://www.pointy-stick.com/blog/2008/12/09/implementing-http-services-django/ http://www.pointy-stick.com/blog/2008/12/13/etags-and-modification-times-django/ http://www.pointy-stick.com/blog/2008/12/15/content-types-http-and-you/ On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 8:28 PM, Ed Summers <ed.summ...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I was wondering if anyone else on the list has layered a RESTful > service into their django applications.
