[Opensim-dev] Asset Server Rest Interface

[Stefan Andersson]

Uh, not entirely sure how to read the current state of the draft, but just wanted to make sure that
POST /assets/new should returd assetid in response, as we can't rely on everybody 'playing nice'.
 
The Draft should also define the response on all commands; I'd suggest we use an xml posted object response; something like
 
GET:
The binary asset,
Content-type: xxx
 
DELETE:
<DeleteResponse>
<Result success="true">Ok</Result>
</DeleteResponse>
Content-type: application/xml
 
POST:
<CreateResponse>
<Result success="true">Ok</Result>
<AssetId>xxx</AssetId>
</CreateResponse>
Content-type: application/xml
 
(I'm not entirely sure about the syntax, writing this off the top of my head, but should be something that can be easily deserialized into a c# class)

I'd really like to get this back into the URL itself like it waspreviously.  Typically params are not used in REST interfaces, with PATHINFO being the prefered mechanism.
<question>I thought that REST used a mixture of paths and parameters, based on "what makes sense in the current scenario",  how ever you define this. </question>
Based on input from this thread I would suggest this interfaceGET /assets/assetid/<value>DELETE /assets/assetid/<value>POST /assets/new             - asset server creates new asset                                         - grabs asset it from the serialized asset in the request body.Changes from my first proposal:PUT/UPDATE has been removedThe path now begins with the plural 'asset s'.assetid is a "sub-folder" under "assets", used to retrieve individual assets by assetid./tleiades
