Hi!
I'd like to access some RESTful web services from Squeak (I'm running the Seaside-2.8-530 image http://www.seaside.st/resources/distributions/Seaside-2.8-final.zip). What would people's advice be as to the best starting point - should I roll something from scratch with the classes in Network-Protocols or is there a more obvious way. I investigated CurlPlugin, but got scared (!) by the dependencies and thoughts about cross-platform incompatibilities (I'm running on OSX and Ubuntu).
I recently made a "surf robot" using Steve Waring's HttpClient package:
http://map.squeak.org/packagebyname/httpclient
I may have ended up making some small fixes to it - should probably get that fed back upstream - but IIRC it was nothing big.
When you say "RESTful web service" I conclude it more or less "plain HTTP" we are talking about. Otherwise you of course have the SoapOpera packages for doing SOAP stuff.
