RESTful HTTP API? - Githubissues

pizthewiz commented 9 years ago

Generally the API called out in http.md is not RESTful; GETs are used when deleting and adding resources - is this due to the limited HTTP verb support in the E1 hardware or would you be open to a proposal for a RESTful HTTP API?

A couple examples off the top of my head:

GET /DCIM/100MEDIA/EYED0001.MOV?act=rm could be a DELETE
GET /ctrl/session?action=quit, /ctrl/shutdown, /ctrl/reboot, /datetime?date={YYYY-MM-DD}&time={hh:mm:ss}, /ctrl/still?action={cap}, _/ctrl/mode?action=topb … could be a POST
GET /ctrl/mode?action=query could be query-less

GET /ctrl/card could respond with 204 if present and 404 if not
POST /ctrl/card/format/

An RPC based api would probably be better suited to this kinda of work

I would second this issue and would also favour a RESTful API.
