mod_data_access/README.markdown @ 5931:d194d1012fd3
Updating dox for mod_rest. Ideas expressed / clarified:
1) Making clear that mod_rest isn't to be installed under VirtualHosts AND as a component.
2) Understanding some of the implications of this choice:
A) Changes to user authentication
B) How it affects subdomains
3) More consistent use of domain names for clarity.
4) Using different heading sizes to show scope of section.
Essentially, I added all the tidbits I had to clarify in getting this to work in my
own example.

| 3 summary: 'HTTP access to prosody’s storage mechanism' | |
| 4 ... | |
| 5 | |
| 6 Introduction | |
| 7 ------------ | |
| 8 | |
| 9 This module gives HTTP access to prosody’s storage mechanism. It uses | |
| 10 normal HTTP verbs and [Basic HTTP | |
| 11 authentication](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617), so you could call | |
| 12 it RESTful if you like buzzwords. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 Syntax | |
| 15 ------ | |
| 16 | |
| 17 To Fetch data, issue a normal GET request | |
| 18 | |
| 19 GET /data[/<host>/<user>]/<store>[/<format>] HTTP/1.1 | |
| 20 Authorization: <base64(authzid:password)> | |
| 21 | |
| 22 OR | |
| 23 | |
| 24 PUT|POST /data[/<host>/<user>]/<store> HTTP/1.1 | |
| 25 Content-Type: text/x-lua | application/json | |
| 26 | |
| 27 <data> | |
| 28 | |
| 29 These map to `datamanager.method(user, host, store, data)`, where choice | |
| 30 of `method` and its parameters are explained below. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 ### Verbs | |
| 33 | |
| 34 Verb Meaning datamanager method | |
| 35 -------- ------------------------------- --------------------------- | |
| 36 `GET` Just fetch data `load()` or `list_load()` | |
| 37 `PUT` Replace all data in the store `store()` | |
| 38 `POST` Append item to the store `list_append()` | |
| 39 | |
| 40 Note: In a `GET` request, if `load()` returns `nil`, `list_load()` will | |
| 41 be tried instead. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 ### Fields | |
| 44 | |
| 45 Field Description Default | |
| 46 ---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 47 `host` Which virtual host to access Required. If not set in the path, the domain-part of the authzid is used. | |
| 48 `user` Which users storage to access Required. If not set in the path, uses the node part of the authzid. | |
| 49 `store` Which storage to access. Required. | |
| 50 `format` Which format to serialize to. `json` and `lua` are supported. When uploading data, the `Content-Type` header is used. `json` | |

| 65 | |
| 66 curl -X PUT http://prosody.local:5280/data/example.com/user/accounts -u admin@host:r00tp4ssw0rd --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"password":"changeme"}' | |
