Resources, For Real This Time (with Webmachine)
summary
Claims that HTTP belongs as the app shape not an afterthought and demonstrates a Ruby port of Webmachine that implements the RFC as an executable model of HTTP. Builds a small CMS resource family using Webmachine + Webrick/Mongrel adapters, a RIO-backed model via ripple, ERB and JSON representations, ETag/Last-Modified conditional requests, PUT to create/update and HTTP Basic auth. Implements and exercises the state machine (about 36 resource callbacks), shows 304 responses and working accept-header negotiation via curl.
