Microsoft WCF gets serious about HTTP

Chances are, if you have read any of my blog posts before, you will probably be aware of my appreciation of a certain HTTPClient library that appeared in the WCF REST Starter kit a few years ago.  After a very long incubation period and some periods of uncertainty about its future I am really excited […]

Rest Fest

RESTfest was a blast

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 […]

Agent Fielding

Agent Fielding is on a mission

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 […]

HyperMedia

Rest Agent uses hypermedia

As I alluded to in my first post, REST clients really should be driven by hypermedia.  So how can our RestAgent class access this hypermedia and its links.  Ideally, given a single root URI, I would like to be able to do: Before I talk about the magic that is going on under the covers here, […]

Rest Agent

Rest Agent – An introduction

You might say I’m a bit of a fan of the REST architectural style. Let me provide a little background to clarify why REST is important to me, so you can better understand my underlying objectives.  If we have similar objective then maybe this series of posts will be of interest to you. I write […]

OData

World’s simplest OData service

I get frustrated sometime trying to play around with new Microsoft technologies.  The process usually involves;  install this CTP, apply this hotfix, create a project using this template, and this item using another template.  By then end I may have something working but I don’t know what magic happened behind the scenes. Here is a […]

Software Testing

But can you test it?

Testing code that uses HttpWebRequest directly, is a real pain.  Usually what I have seen people do is create a service interface that hides the real http client behind the interface and then create fake service implementations to actually run their tests against.  The annoying part about that solution is that Http client interfaces tend […]
