Bryan Duxbury commented on HADOOP-2068:
---------------------------------------
I am unfamiliar with php's HTTP library. However, I don't think we
should change the content-type accepted for XML formatted data. An
XML entity body is definitely NOT x-www-form-urlencoded. Hacking it
to work around that essentially breaks the HTTP spec.
I would suggest finding out if you can get lower-level access to the
HTTP session than what php's library is giving you. This is not
incredibly complicated functionality.
As a last resort, I invite you to submit a patch that can read the
xml out of the postdata when encoded as x-www-form-urlencoded and
we'll find a way to work it in.

> A RESTful interface would be one means of making hbase accessible to clients
> that are not java. It might look something like the below:
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/ outputs the master's attributes: online
> meta regions, list of tables, etc.: i.e. what you see now when you go to
> http://MASTER:PORT/master.jsp.
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME: 200 if tables exists and
> HTableDescription (mimetype: text/plain or text/xml) or 401 if no such table.
> HTTP DELETE would drop the table. HTTP PUT would add one.
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW: 200 if row exists and 401
> if not.
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW/COLUMNFAMILY:
> HColumnDescriptor (mimetype: text/plain or text/xml) or 401 if no such table.
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW/COLUMNNAME/: 200 and latest
> version (mimetype: binary/octet-stream) or 401 if no such cell. HTTP DELETE
> would delete the cell. HTTP PUT would add a new version.
> + An HTTP GET of http://MASTER:PORT/TABLENAME/ROW/COLUMNNAME/TIMESTAMP: 200
> (mimetype: binary/octet-stream) or 401 if no such cell. HTTP DELETE would
> remove. HTTP PUT would put this record.
> + Browser originally goes against master but master then redirects to the
> hosting region server to serve, update, delete, etc. the addressed cell
