Hello all!
I hope that I am posing my question to a relevant mailing list!
I am looking for a solution to implement a RESTful API server. I have
tested and examined a bunch of solution and now I think the best
solution is to use a trustworthy, reliable, and robust implementation
of HTTP protocol such as Apache httpd as HTTP server as base and then
add my API handlers for REST commands. I am still looking at Apache
httpd's source code and doesn't really know what is the best way to
implement a RESTful API that would receive GET/POST/PUT/DELETE, etc.
commands with appropriate parameters and then send the results.
I am wondering if there is a standard way or similar project that
somebody else has done? If not, what would be the best way to
implement this? Should I add a new module that handles RESTful APIs or
hack into the code and generate the response base on my API when a
HTTP command is received and send it through httpd?
Generally, one would vector the URL to a script that would parse the
full set of HTTP headers, and act accordingly. Take a look at the
documentation for how Apache's CGI interface works. You might try
looking around for an apache-based implementation of the Atom Publishing
Protocol for an example.
