Hi, I am trying to get some stuff done with REST using Pharo. So far, I am able to do GETs, but I am unable to do PUTs because the REST service expects the content sent to be JSON. For this to work, I need to set the Content-Type of the request to 'application/json'. I have successfully installed the CurlPlugin via Gofer (version 25 from dao), and thanks to John (M. McIntosh), who provided me with a new version of the bundle for Mac, I was able to pass all the tests, except for the testApiOptions test, which fails on the timeout: test. The version John provided me with is 2.0.0. I first tried with version 1.1.0, but that failed on 13 tests due to a primitive that failed constantly (<primitive: 'primSetOptLong' module: 'CurlPlugin'>). There is a method addHeader: in the plugin, but it does not seem to do anything useful.
I have found a blog (Jazz Programming) by Giovanni Corriga, who claims to have a version of the plugin that allows for custom headers to be set, but the link to his version gives a 304 error. Plus the blog dates from 2007. Having a version of the CurlPlugin that allows me to set a custom header would be great, so if anybody has one, please let me know. But what I would really like to have is a good implementation of the HTTP protocol in Squeak/Pharo, so that we are not dependent on a plugin. The standard HTTP client in Squeak/Pharo is based on HttpSocket, and is only a partial implementation of the HTTP protocol (it only supports GETs as far as I can tell). Does anyone know of another way to do basic HTTP in Squeak/Pharo?
