Accessing REST Web Service
Hello:
I have created a REST service that is currently running on a Unix server. I issued a cURL command to call the REST service and verified it's working as designed; curl --request POST command and the url I used to test it is localhost:8090/someservice/somename. I have a teammate who now wants to access this REST service via Postman. Instead of using localhost in the URL..he substituted it with the server's hostname, but he is not receiving a response.
What would the REST URL Endpoint be for this service to be called externally? Any help would be appreciated!

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. Got to go, the cat's on fire."
id: 2
title: post deux
POST
TODO not working
Actually, it looks like it is not supposed to work this way. 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
TODO not working
$ echo '---
title: "posting from the cli"
' | lwp-request -m PUT http://localhost:8888/=/model/Post/3.yml
500 Can't read entity body: Connection reset by peer
DELETE
$ lwp-request -m DELETE http://localhost:8888/=/model/Post/id/3.yml
