Resources, Not Data

Fri Aug 21 14:26:00 2015

We need to stop trying to understand REST in terms of data-centric programming paradigms. The result will be better-designed APIs.

Asynchronous HTTP Requests in Perl Using AnyEvent

Thu Mar 1 16:18:00 2012

I need to make a number of HTTP requests from within a Perl program. There might be as many as a dozen (sometimes more). Doing them serially in a for loop would be too slow. So, I started exploring asynchronous programming in Perl using AnyEvent.

The Dawn of the Eventernet

Tue Nov 9 10:49:00 2010

This is a guest blog post by Dave McNamee The Eventernet is an event architecture overlayed on the Internet, where events are published and applications process those events and take action on behalf of people. This allows for the creation of new value that was not possible under the constraints of the request architecture of the WWW. The World Wide Web In the beginning there was HTTP with its collection of methods. GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. These methods, along with the advent of HTML (and browsers that could render HTML) allowed the World Wide Web to emerge and

Theodore Bullock: HTTPerf is New and Improved

HTTPPerf is a tool for measuring Web service performance. The problem is it hadn't been updated since 2000, even though there had been numerous bug reports in the intervening seven years. Theodore Bullock, recently of the University of Calgary, reported on a project to fix reported bugs and redo the build system, making it more portable that a Software Engineering class carried out last year. The result is version 0.9 is is freely available. There are plugins that do sessions and Web log playback. Others could be written. For example, I'd like to see a plugin that incorporates Rhino

Crying Out for a RESTful Service Interface Description Language

Thu Jun 29 11:54:00 2006

Dave Rosenberg is frustrated with Web 2.0 apps that don't play well together: If you haven't seen any of the 37 Signals stuff, it's great. Easy to use, well-designed etc. But even they don't offer a completely integrated suite of all of their own apps. I need Basecamp integrated with MyYahoo and Salesforce.com to really be productive. I want all my stuff on one page at one URL, in sync across multiple computers and visible on my handheld. This was the promise of portals but it remains unfulfilled. ... To me the big opportunity of Web 2.0 development is

Using HTTP Authentication

Thu Mar 16 17:43:00 2006

HTTP authentication has been pigeonholed into protecting back-end systems and whole sites. In fact, it's much more versatile, as this tutorial shows. Ever wanted to use HTTP authentication from a Web form or allow HTTP authenticated users to logout? This shows you how using standard server-side techniques and very little code hacking.
