random::hash()
random::string()
random::percent()
random::int()
So that we don't have lots of different ways to get random values all
over the code. Follow-on to #1527.
which sucks, but it's totally unobtrusive because it's a header so
that's ok. Decided that the current version is "3.0" although it will
surely change before the final 3.0 release.
Fixes ticket #1148
mostly issues around uninitialized variables, calling non-static
functions in a static context, calling Session functions directly
instead of on its singleton, passing non-variables by reference, and
subclasses not using the same interface as the parent class.
relationships. Now when you view a resource, it has 4 top level
elements:
url: the url of this resource
resource: array of key value pairs describing the resource
members: array of urls to members of this collection
relationships: array of array of members.
Relationships are a special type of collection that links two
different resources together. To remove a relationship, just
DELETE its url. To create a relationship, POST to its
collection.
Individual modules can add their own relationships to any
resource via a callback mechanism.
Example:
Array(
[url] => http://g3.com/rest/item/1
[resource] => Array (
[id] => 1
[album_cover_item_id] => 4
[captured] =>
[created] => 1264056417
[description] =>
[height] =>
...
)
[members] => Array(
[0] => http://g3.com/rest/item/2
[1] => http://g3.com/rest/item/3
[2] => http://g3.com/rest/item/4
[3] => http://g3.com/rest/item/5
...
)
[relationships] => Array(
[tags] => Array (
[0] => http://g3.com/rest/tag_item/2,1
[1] => http://g3.com/rest/tag_item/23,1
)
)
)
1) Deal in fully qualified URL resources through the rest
interface. All rest methods are now passed the complete url in
request->url.
2) Create rest::resolve() which lets individual resource definition
code convert a full url into the appropriate matching resource.
Implement gallery_rest::resolve() and tag_rest::resolve()
3) Reimplement tag_rest's get() and post() methods. They're much
simpler now.
4) Implement the tags_rest helper which supports working with the
entire tags collection.
1) Simplify gallery_rest to return flat models, no children and do no
validation for now.
2) Flatten the REST replies and use HTTP codes to indicate
success/failure instead of additional status messages.
3) Use the message and error code support in the base Exception class,
instead of brewing our own in Rest_Exception.
4) Get rid of rest::success() and rest::fail() -- we only need
rest::reply() since all failures are covered by throwing an
exception.
5) Get rid of /rest/access_key and just use /rest for authentication.
6) Inline and simplify rest::normalize_request since we only use it once
7) Change rest::set_active_user to succeed or throw an exception
8) Extract Rest_Exception::sendHeaders into rest::send_headers()
Here's what's currently broken:
1) Data validation. There currently is none
2) Logging. That's gone too
3) image block and tag code is broken
4) Tests are broken
5) No movie support
The request key is put in the X-Gallery-Request-Key header
The HTTP method can be override by using the X-Gallery-Request-Method header
Normalize the request data so that it doesn't matter where it comes from (HTTP get or HTTP post request)
