Hi everyone,
I believe this to be a Shindig bug but need some feedback validating my thoughts. According to the opensocial RPC spec http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v081/rpc-p rotocol, the following POST and GET RPC requests should be equivalent and allowed: POST: POST /rpc HTTP/1.1 Host: api.example.org Authorization: <Auth token> Content-Type: application/json { "method" : "people.get", "id" : "myself" "params" : { "userId" : "@me", "groupId" : "@self" } } and GET: http://api.example.org/rpc?method=people.get&id=myself&user...@me&groupI d...@self However, I believe Shindig's behavior (at least in PHP) is incorrect here. When a doGet() function gets called in JsonRpcServlet, it calls dispatch($request, $token), which expects parameters to be in $request->params. The problem is, if you compare the RPC spec url above with the JSON "equivalent", it looks like the url doesn't include a ¶ms GET variable - instead params like groupId, userId, etc are given as individual GET params. The shindig PHP code doesn't account for that and skips them altogether. Supporting the GET version of the spec would make debugging easier as it's a lot easier to send a GET request than a POST request (in addition to actually adhering to the spec, of course) Does anyone have any comments confirming this as a bug or otherwise? Thanks, Artem Russakovskii Plaxo Engineer
