Launch the server and punch this in your browser:
|
# Ubuntu One SyncDaemon REST API Server
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
http://localhost:3000/status/current_downloads
|
## What's it do?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Creates a RESTful interface to Ubuntu One's DBus interface that lives on port 3000 and can be utlized to build client side web applications on top of Ubuntu One.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Why does this exist?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This little server is the result of fighting with the PHP DBus bindings and trying it to work in the local user space.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How do I run it?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Assuming you already have Node.js on your system and are running Ubuntu (Only OS I'll be testing this one) then all you need to do is run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
node ubuntuone.js
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How do I talk to it?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Communicating with the server can be done by pointing your web browser to http://localhost:3000/status/current_status
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The format of the URI is /objectPath/method
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What's the future hold?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Documentation page when calling the server with no path
|
||||||
|
* Support for the root object path's methods (connect, disconnect, et cetera)
|
||||||
|
* POST methods to push as well as pull data
|
||||||
|
* Potentially spinning off this server into a more generic DBus web interface
