Hi, before several weeks i announced the first Restolog release (1.1, there was my mistake so, the title was for version 1.2), but something happened with my email - i found it in the ML archives, but it never reached GMail (and maybe the mailing list).
To not repeat myself (DRY remember 
) just some words again:
== What is restolog?
Restolog is very simple blog system based on REST/CRUD ideas. Sources (all credits going to the authors, i just combined their work):
* RestBlog by Alisdair McDiarmid [ http://randomoracle.com/stuff/RestBlog.tar.gz ] * restful_authentication plugin by techno-weenie   [ http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/restful_authentication/ ] * graseful delete degradation   [ http://www.thelucid.com/articles/2006/07/26/simply-restful-the-missing-action ]
The purpose is mostly proof of concept, not typo/mephisto etc. competition.
== Download
* tarballs: Â Â [ http://bgjap.net/code/ruby/ror/ ] (restolog-1.2b1.tgz is the last one) * SVN: Â Â Â Â svn checkout http://restolog.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ restolog
== Requirements
* Ruby 1.8.4+ (I'm using mongrel, do you?) * Edge Rails (RESTful by default) * SQLite 3 (easy to deploy/move)
== Install
   $ rails freeze_edge    $ rake migrate    $ server/start    (create admin user)    (logout)    (create usual user - optional, but recommended)
== Example REST Usage
  # GET article(s), tag(s), user(s) info   $ script/rester /articles   $ script/rester -h remote.example.com -P 3002 /articles   $ script/rester /articles/1
  # POST article/comment   $ script/rester -X POST -u admin -p admin \     -d 'article[title]=Test only;article[body]=Hello world;article[tag_list]=test rest' \     /articles   $ script/rester -X POST \     -d 'comment[author]=Some User;comment[body]=Very Good' \     /article/1/comments
# DELETE article/comment   $ script/rester -X DELETE -u admin -p admin /articles/2/comments/1   $ script/rester -X DELETE -u admin -p admin /articles/2
You can use also:
  $ curl -i -H 'Accept: application/xml' http://…
More information: * the initial announce for version 1.1: Â Â [ http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/2006-August/060144.html ] * online README file copy: Â Â [ http://bgjap.net/code/ruby/ror/RESTOLOG.txt ] * online USAGE file copy (with REST usage examples): Â Â [ http://bgjap.net/code/ruby/ror/RESTOLOG_USAGE.txt ]
What's new in this version:
* Textile markup for articles body (act_as_textiled plugin) * REST client ('script/rester') - pure Ruby, for systems without curl or wget * New REST API calls added (mostly for articles and comments) * Some documentation (README, USAGE, CHANGELOG)
Now the problems/questions (that's why the current version is still beta): * for some reason update via REST (PUT method) do not work - returns error code 406 Not Acceptable * is it possible to make the authentication with sending keys like a part of URL (maybe something with 'remember_me' field in restful authentication) (something like for example Openomy API [ http://openomy.com/ ] or maybe Amazon's S3 - initial login + some session/application key in the URL)?
