LiveCode's http methods

[Ray Horsley]

Alain,

I haven't heard your name in so long.  Good to hear from you again.  My son Jason and I are currently working on this very thing.  I believe you've found your bounty-hunters.  We'd love to explore CRUD via http.  What we have to offer right now is what we've discovered uploading/downloading files in various file formats.

It seems the only thing we're missing is delete.  That is, if we can read we can certainly edit what we've read and thenPut, thus accomplishing the Update part of CRUD.  Our next tasks include deleting files as well as creating and deleting directories, in addition to listing the contents of directories.

We're working with standard Linux/Apache using MySql.
