Mcom-tinderbox-rest is a project mainly written in PHP, it's free.
A 'plugin' for Marcuscom Tinderbox to provide REST-like API
mcom-tinderbox-rest is an addition to Marcuscom Tinderbox which allows it to provide REST-like API for the services it already provides.
For example, if you want to add a new entry to the ports building queue, you might just perform specially crafted PUT request to an URL like https://you.tindy/api/queue by either using something like curl or a special client instead of pointing your browser to tinderbox web ui and doing all the job by hand.
Assume that you have Marcuscom Tinderbox installed and configured already (if not, please refer to its documentation on how to do that).
When you're done with tinderbox configuration, you need only one additional dependency:
www/pecl-httpOnce you're doing with installing need, all you need to do is to create an 'api' subdirectory in the web root of your tinderbox installation, typically it would be:
mkdir /space/scripts/webui/apiand copy all the php files and .htaccess from the repo to this directory.
I've tested things with Apache 2.2 (www/apache22) and will use it as example. Basically, only two things are importent:
URL rewriting is used to provide nice REST-like URLs like /api/build/1 instead of of build.php?id=1 for example. mcom-tinderbox-rest comes with .htaccess which contains all the rewriting rules. So Apache should be configured to include mod_rewrite and AllowOverride to enable .htaccess parsing (other option would be to embed things into main configuration file).
And SSL so the scripts were served using HTTPS.
