Jifty::Manual::TutorialRest(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Jifty::Manual::TutorialRest(3pm) NAME
Jifty::Manual::TutorialRest - Web Services DESCRIPTION
This builds on Jifty::Manual::Tutorial, so make sure you have a running jifty that roughly resembles the step-by-step from there. SETUP
You must add this to your site_config.yml framework: Plugins: - REST: {} See Jifty::Plugin::REST. The commands assume that you have LWP installed with the GET alias. If not, you'll need to use the longhand lwp-request -m GET, or curl, or your browser. help Make sure it is working: $ GET http://localhost:8888/=/help Accessing resources: ... You should see some text describing the services, not html (that's longhand for 404.) Check the config and restart the server. GET
Just list the models. $ GET http://localhost:8888/=/model.yml --- - MyWeblog.Model.Post List the Post schema. $ GET http://localhost:8888/=/model/Post.yml --- body: label: Content name: body readable: 1 sort_order: 1 type: text writable: 1 id: mandatory: 1 name: id readable: 1 type: serial writable: 0 title: default: Untitled post label: Title name: title readable: 1 sort_order: 0 type: text writable: 1 You did make some posts, right? $ GET http://localhost:8888/=/model/Post/id.yml --- - 1 - 2 Dump the data: $ GET http://localhost:8888/=/model/Post/id/1.yml --- body: 'This is my post, the content of which is this, which is mine.' id: 1 title: my first post $ GET http://localhost:8888/=/model/Post/id/2.yml --- body: "Content of another post.

Why not? $ echo '--- body: "A post via web services" id: 3 title: "posting from the command-line" ' | lwp-request -m POST http://localhost:8888/=/model/Post.yml POST http://localhost:8888/=/model/Post/id/3.yml --> 404 Not Found PUT
