Technically, everything was RESTful, we just didn't have a hipster name for it.

I'm having trouble understanding how a wrapper for an arbitrary executable can be called "RESTful". Are there resources? Are there long-lived URIs? In the end, doesn't the implementation of the executable partly determine whether it is really RESTful?
- ANystrom 14y ago
  Good question! Certainly long-lived URI's. As for resources, I suppose conceptually there is. However you are correct that the given executable would determine a level for resources. So I guess the answer is YES. Support for RESTul is RESTful. Or not, depending upon your executable.
