PFC/XPL as HTTP/REST Proxy

Hi,

Can the PFC/XPL framework be used to proxy REST requests, including GET, POST,
PUT and DELETE requests? I would like to consume an existing REST service, but
only indirectly via a proxy that can rewrite certain sections of the XML
payload, both on insert and retrieval (GET and POST/PUT).

Thanks,
Mats

Re: PFC/XPL as HTTP/REST Proxy

Hi,

I'm still wondering whether this is possible. I suspect that only GET and POST requests are processed through the Page Flow Controller, not PUT and DELETE, and hence it is not possible to use it as a REST Proxy, is that right? At least not w/o rewriting the HTTP verb...

Thanks for any help!

Ok, just discovered it works! The issue I had was on the back-end side. I had to allow all HTTP verbs on the relevant requests on IIS.

For specific cases, certainly. For example the Form Runner eXist
persistence layer acts very much like a proxy.

Check for example:

To be fully generic, It should be possible as well. I remember
starting writing such a proxy a while ago (but not completing it
unfortunately!).
