(for the record: I am writing this mail without having read any answer to my
first one)
I have to correct myself here.
Zend_Rest_Client takes the name of the first called method as value for the
query parameter "method", so in this constellation the query (according to
the manual) would become sth. like "?method=method&arg1=
youtube.users.get_profile&method=youtube.users.get_profile&dev_id=YOUR_DEV_ID&user=USER_NAME
".
Obviously, not exactly the thing that youtube wants. Since the parameter
"method" exists twice in the query string, I know that an apache web server
would take the latter of both and the query would work nevertheless, but I
do not know how other web servers would handle this.
So, slightly offtopic but nevertheless, I think a new method called method()
should exist in Zend_Rest_Client to explicitly set the method parameter of a
query string. This should also be reserved to not be used in
Zend_Rest_Server.
JIRA Issue follows up tomorrow.
Cheers,
Tobias
