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).
Thanks Steve

Hi Steve,
did you try the version of CurlPlugin available on my blog ( http://blog.corriga.net/ ) ?

Hi!

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.

Hi Goran,
does Steve's HttpClient package support custom headers, and put and delete methods?

Hi Giovanni, Göran
I did get to know of CurlPlugin via your blog http://blogs.corriga.netGiovanni, and the code for the RESTful web services book looks like a really useful resource (thanks!). And then I downloaded it from squeaksource, but as I say initially was slightly worried about getting FFI, VMMaker and the library compiled and put in the right places on both my deployment platforms. Maybe I should just go for it! Which is why I was looking for something which runs 'natively' on Squeak.
I'll certainly take a look at the HttpClient package Göran, and yes its just "plain HTTP" I'm after, but requiring put & delete as Giovanni suggests.
Thanks for some food for thought.
Steve
