I agree, it would probably make more sense to just use a conventional http server to interface with the browser clients on the front-end to act as a pass-through to cassandra on the back-end. No sense re-implementing all that functionality. Still, to Clint's point, everyone knows how to make an HT

Would it ever be useful to someday have browser clients access cassandra servers directly? I imagine that would be the most compelling scenario to have REST API for. On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 1:36 PM, Paul Prescod wrote: > On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 1:30 PM, Peter Minearo > wrote: > > First let me
