REST

I was listening to the presentation by heyrocker. He said that there's a plan to update or re-write the REST server and move it into services core.

1) Can we expect the same thing for the amfphp server by the amfphp module, and other servers as well?

2) Does that mean we won't need to download each server individually and add it into the servers folder with the xmlrpc folder? because that would be awesome.

I just released a module that extends the REST server with support for both binary and xml based plists: http://drupal.org/project/rest_server_plist. This allows you to talk with services on the iPhone without any external dependencies on json parsers or having to interpret xml responses.

This will just be a short announcement of about a blog post that might interest people. Not trying to spam you or anything be we haven't been allowed into the Drupal planet feed yet.

HI there

there is little performance issues if we have all modules at same installation. basically I have a site social, and i like to offer many facilities to users, but if i install many modules on same installation it impacts the performance, so i decided to user multisite,

for e.g.,

songs : songs.example.com
videos : videos.example.com
groups: groups.example.com
blogs: blogs.example.com

something like that.

I'm new to Drupal so forgive me if this is a noob question. I've set up Drupal 6 and the Services module and the REST Server and the Zend Framework. When I make a REST call, eg. http://mysite/services/rest?method=node.get&nid=1 I get a blank screen. However, if I change the method to node.delete, I get an xml succeess response. And I get an xml error message if I pass an unknown method name.

A REST Server is now available for the Services module, so that external REST clients can communicate with Drupal Services. In order to use the REST Server, you have to install the Zend Framework.

I've got a project where I am integrating Drupal with a third party service (a video upload/transcode/hosting provider, kind of a white-label YouTube: twistage.com)... when something updates at that service they want to ping my server @ a URL I designate with some simple key/value pairs, and I want to act on that ping.

Services seems like a perfect fit, except: a) XMLRPC and AMFPHP seem to be the only servers pre-written; and b) I haven't grokked the server part of the services equation to author what seems like a super-simple server - one that only responds to $_REQUEST variables.
