[Ocamlnet-devel] URL with parameters in NetCGI

[Pierre-Alexandre V. <ont...@gm...>]

HI,

As far I understand my use of NetCGI, it only allow GET/POST/... URLs with
parameters like :
/service_name?param1=one&param2=two

It's now usual, according to REST philosophy, to write URLs as follow :
GET /table_name/17
PUT /table_name/17
and of course more complex URLs as :
PUT /publishers/1/magazines/2/photos/3


However there's ocaml's library to do that (aka
https://github.com/rgrinberg/opium which user cohttp based on Lwt/Async),
NetCGI is so powerful and multicore ready that I would prefer to use it.
With opium you can format your URLs as follow :

let print_person = get "/person/:name/:age" ...



So, is there a way to do that with NetCGI ? Or, if I want to contribute by
coding it, what, Gerd, would be the way you prefer to patch NetCGI ?


Regards,

Pierre-Alexandre

Hi,

accessing the path is already possible. For example, if you bind the cgi
to /service_name, and enter /service_name/some/path in the browser, you
get the "excess part" of the path in cgi#environment#cgi_path_info, i.e.
"/some/path". This should work for all cgi connectors in the same way
(this behavior is part of the CGI standard). You could then split the
path into components and process as you like.

Does this help?

Great ! So I can do that !
On second thought, I think it would be great to be able to define theses
patterns in the conf file.
Where could I patch this ?
