We're doing HTTP right
- the_mitsuhiko 14y agoLast time someone submitted a draft of a blog post I accidentally published on my private blog titled "I'm doing HTTP wrong" about a talk I gave at PyGrunn 2012. I since pulled that and rewrote it to better show what our infrastructure is actually like. I'm more than happy to answer questions about that :-)
- tbatterii 14y agothe original article isn't fresh in my mind anymore, but I enjoyed this one and found myself agreeing more. :) FWIW, my opinion is it is very similar to how things are done on appengine. You want to schedule a task? you make a form post to an end point thats setup to be monitored by their service. you want to talk to a backend instance? post to it. maybe their rpcs work the same way (serialize to protocol buffer, post to endpoint, get response, deserialize protocol buffer). it feels low tech and un-sexy, but it works and it's easy to understand.
- k_bx 14y agoSo, I am just about writing something that would describe my REST API (possibly generate handlers from description) and integrate very nicely with Sphinx for docs, and I can see (on slides) you already have something like that. Am I right? Do you plan to share something like that? Thanks.
- the_mitsuhiko 14y agoYes, we have something for that but it's customized for our type system. But I think I could probably write.something up about Sphinx customization.

- ardillamorris 14y agoThe tl;dr should go at the top!
- mwsherman 14y agoI love that the tl;dr is at the bottom. Humor intended, I hope.
