FTP is not RPC
Wednesday, 23 November 2005
Anil Dash had just complained that FTP is a lousy interface for web services.
I’m curious why he thought so, as I think FTP is a great interface for a REST-based web service, since the PUT, DELETE and GET are already supported, and addressing of a resource is … dead easy.
With GoogleBase’s ATOM API, there is no pressing need for POST anyway, so what’s the great loss?
