webpy REST exmaple

REST example with json/xml/txt and html output. The output is controlled by the http Accept request header.

install

./bin/setup.sh

Run

./httpd.py&

Testing

curl -iH "Accept: application/json" localhost:8082/a/b/c
curl -iH "Accept: text/xml" localhost:8082/a/b/c
curl -iH "Accept: text/html" localhost:8082/a/b/c
curl -iH "Accept: text/plain" localhost:8082/a/b/c

Using a different method: curl -XDELETE -iH "Accept: text/xml" localhost:8082/a/b/c

if the Accept header is missing, json is the default.
