1d89c846b9 webapi.txt: improve t=deep-size output docs 2008-10-21 17:53:31 -07:00
Brian Warner
ad3d9207a9 Change deep-size/stats/check/manifest to a start+poll model instead of a single long-running synchronous operation. No cancel or handle-expiration yet. #514. 2008-10-21 17:03:07 -07:00

26dfc33263 setup: remove the developer note about doing without GNU make (the GNU make requirement is about to hurt Peter if he tries to follow this doc, by the way)
add classifiers showing with which versions of Python it is known to work.

dc2a114290 docs: update architecture.txt 's section on the vdrive a.k.a. filesystem layer
Remove some obsolete parts (correct at the time, now incorrect), change terminology to reflect my preference: s/vdrive/filesystem/ and s/dirnode/directory/, and make a few other small changes.

2c9a854f10 CLI: reconcile webopen changes
I think this is largely attributable to a cleanup patch I'd made
which never got committed upstream somehow, but at any rate various
conflicting changes to webopen had been made. This cleans up the
conflicts therein, and hopefully brings 'tahoe webopen' in line with
other cli commands.

1d2d6a35a6 checker results: add output=JSON to webapi, add tests, clean up APIs
to make the internal ones use binary strings (nodeid, storage index) and
the web/JSON ones use base32-encoded strings. The immutable verifier is
still incomplete (it returns imaginary healty results).

970edc5c65 setup and docs: various improvements to setup and docs
Remove docs/install-details.html and README.win32 for now (see #282).
Remove checks for pywin32 and pyopenssl in Makefile -- that is (or will be) automated by setuptools.
Remove twisted from setup_requires.  This causes the problem in which Nevow doesn't declare its dependency on Twisted (#440) to yield a clear ImportError mentioning Twisted and to fail repeatedly, rather than yielding a weird ImportError and working on the second identical attempt.
Fix Makefile to set PATH so that trial and twistd can be found by "make test" after Twisted was installed into support/ during "make"

151f69d9b5 webapi.txt: overhaul documentation. API changes are as follows:
* download/upload localdir=/localfile= has been removed. This sort of ambient
   authority was unsafe to expose over the web (CSRF), and at some point
   soon we'll have 'cp -r' in the CLI to replace it.
 * GET save=filename -> GET filename=filename&save=true
 * GET t=download removed
 * side-effect causing operations now use POST where appropriate, not PUT
 * to create multiple directories, either use
   * POST /uri/DIRCAP/parent?t=mkdir&name=child  (more form/browser oriented)
   * POST /uri/DIRCAP/parent/child?t=mkdir (more machine oriented)
   The t=mkdir-p form is still accepted, but not preferred (since it leaks
   the child name queryarg into the logs)
 * use PUT /uri/MUTABLEFILECAP or PUT /uri/DIRCAP/child (on a mutable file) to
   replace its contents, or POST /same?t=upload from forms
 * response bodies and codes are better specified than before
