Rob Conery asked for some feedback on an API he has been building for Tekpub. I know that Rob asked for URLs, and URLs he shall get, but I like to get a better understanding of the relationships between my resources before I start minting URLs for my service. On a number of occasions I […]
Along with the latest release of WCF Web API there was a updated version of HTTPClient . With it came a bunch of breaking changes, most notably, there are no more Sync methods for doing HTTP requests. This is a change that brings consistency with Microsoft’s new policy that all APIs that take more than 30ms (or is it […]
It appears I need to go on vacation more often. I seem to get more chance to experiment. One of my first discussions about RACK was with Mike Kelly where he suggested a simple solution to implementing HEAD across an API. Simply use a RACK application to convert a HEAD request to a GET and then when […]
So there I was, sitting at my PC hunting some bugs when up pops John Sheehan on IM and starts asking me questions about OPTIONS and TRACE http methods. I pretty much always have the HTTP spec close at hand so I think I was able to at least fake some prior knowledge in attempting to answer […]
We all have to start somewhere, and I like to start with the simplest possible thing that works. So I created a Console application and used NuGet to pull in the WebAPI.All package which contains all my dependencies.[1] Once that was done, all I need is this: If you point a browser to http://localhost:9000 you will get your first […]

Hypermedia Application Language (hal) http://restafari.blogspot.com/2010/10/evolving-hal.html Mike Amundsen’s site that contains a whole lot of insight […]
Back from RESTfest, tired but happy. Three days of intense conversations, debate, opinions and presentations. It was an amazing opportunity to learn from everyone. We all got a chance to present as you can see by the 26 videos we broadcast. Unfortunately, due to my videoing inexperience and our low tech approach, many of the […]
This is a continuation of a series on a Rest Agent library I am building for accessing REST apis. The first post is here and and the second is here. So far the only significant operation that we enabled our RestAgent to perform is NavigateTo(). However, for a RestAgent on a mission, going places is only half the […]
