Here is a sample of the REST/HTTP doc for SNOW-375. SNOW-375 adds a HTTP server in the viewer to be easily accessible by any process or client-side script in a language agnostic manner.
I posted this here to hopefully encourage forward movement in client-side scripting and to avoid the backpedal and reinventions. Note: This is tried, tested, and works. This is not just "talk" or made-up documentation. +++++++++++++ SNOW-375: REST/HTTP URI patterns and response summary as of March 2010 All names that appears in angle brackets, <>, are variable. Note full URI paths used, yet these don't include the "http://host:port/" designation.

Most of these use the GET method, and combined/burst throughput via the POST method. ---------------------------- /ControlGroup Response is a list of control groups. ---------------------------- /ControlGroup/<group> Response is a list of valid variables in a controlgroup with default settings <group> is currently either "SavedSettings" or "SavedPerAccountSettings" ---------------------------- /ControlGroup/<group>/<identifier> Response is a detailed and update of current settings for the specific variable identified. <group> is currently either "SavedSettings" or "SavedPerAccountSettings" <identifier> is a valid variable name from one of the variable control groups. ---------------------------- /Agent/Groups Response is a list with details of groups joined by the connected agent. ---------------------------- /AvatarTracker/Friends Response is the UUID list of the agent's friends and basic status of each. ---------------------------- /AvatarTracker/Friend/<uuid> Response is a detailed relationship information for a specified friend UUID. ---------------------------- /GestureManager/Items Response is a list of UUID of active gestures. ---------------------------- /GestureManager/Item/<uuid> Response is the details of a MultiGesture structure for the UUID specified. ---------------------------- /Inventory/Item/<uuid> Response is the details of an inventory item specified by the UUID. ---------------------------- /Inventory/Root Response is the UUID of the root inventory folder. ---------------------------- /Inventory/Category/<uuid> Response is the UUIDs of the descendant categories and items of the specified UUID. ---------------------------- /Asset/Notecard/<uuid> Response is the notecard item specified by UUID converted to XML format (rather than 'linden notecard format'). ---------------------------- /Interface/Connect POST: Attempt to negotiate a connection to enable the above resources. * Details of connection steps not included in this doc. ---------------------------- /AvatarTracker/Friend/s /GestureManager/Item/s /Inventory/Item/s /Inventory/Category/s POST: List of UUIDs for combined query, as above where <uuid> is replace with just an "s".
