Hey Ram,
Currently only creating activities & setting app data is supported,
just like through the javascript API, so try posting to your
activities instead :)
For the 'other' actions (like posting to people/@all) isn't really
defined yet what it's supposed to do (presumably that should be
people/../@friends to create a friend relationship), but we're still
defining what exactly we should and shouldn't support over on the spec
list.

The RESTful interface doesn't support any OAuth authentication yet,
but
that's what you would use & then your allowed to write (as the user
your
authenticated as), allowing just any old anonymous user to write
would be a
bad thing :)
It does currently support security tokens though, so you could just
grab a
security token of an iframe (or just type one in owner:viewer:etc
type
format if you have allow_plaintext_token=true in your config) and
use that
to 'authenticate'. That's how i'm developing and testing the rest
interface
currently.

Hi,
For php shindig, how do I call the POST methods through Rest API ,
externally? I tried it by submitting a form, but its says, that
the PUT
methods are not allowed for anonymous users.Then I saw that the
same is
implemented in DataHandler.php.
Even if I overrule this check in the code, I am not able to insert
any
value
through POST. Does this means, any other method, except GET cannot
be
called
through an external application?
Am I missing something in my understanding? Can you please give me
any
example for POST?
Thanks.
