RE: My First REST Web Service

Scott, you're right about that, my ScriptAliasMatch would only solve for
invoking a program, but nothing about REST. I was only picking up on the
part of his message where it looked like the program was not being found.

I have not looked at your presentation, so I didn't know he was getting the
regular expression from that.

So back to his question, why doesn't his ScriptAliasMatch work, assuming he
copied it correctly from your presentation?

Craig,

Why would you suggest that? That would only work if you did not use
the URL to identify the object working with. in a RESTful architecture, the
URL is supposed to identify something.

For example, this might identify invoice 12345:

http://yourserver/rest/INVOICE/12345

That won't work with the ScriptAliasMatch you've given, because it'll expect
the program to be namde 'INVOICE/12345.pgm' which isn't a valid object name.

Is there something wrong with the regular expression he got from me that
you'd like to comment on? I've been using it for years without problems,
but perhaps you see a flaw?

Or.. why are you suggesting a different one? (especially since it's one
that won't work, at least, with the requirements of the presentation he got
it from...)
