Hello dragonwize and community,

We are developing multiple cloud support modules including Amazon EC2. We found REST Client module code (w/ Amazon Web Services API module) in Drupal cvs repository and have developed the modules based this project's code in cvs repository. We made almost no modification for this project's module but this project's module doesn't seem to be maintained. (e.g. The module code is only existing in a cvs repository, and still download link is not available). Therefore we want to request to take over maintainership for this project. Actually we are now ready to support D6 for this project. If this project owner see this post, please contact me.

Thanks,
Yas Naoi

I have rewritten some code for this module but some of the code is not properly licences for Drupal and it is specific to a certain install.

Maintainers are welcome. Post to the queue your ideas and or code.

Do you have a CVS account? I do not see any other projects you maintain.

Hello dragonwize,

Thank you for your response. I checked cvs repository but I couldn't find any codes there. So I couldn't compare "before and after", so please find the attached.
I don't have any cvs access currently. I am suggesting multiple cloud modules at http://drupal.org/node/919966 including your efforts. We really appreciate for your work. We are just simply using your codes which were previously uploaded. Please review the attached.

Thank you again,
Yas Naoi

(copy and paste from the AWS API issue)

Hi dragonwize.

yas is in the process of filling out a CVS account. He came to us with a large bundle of AWS-related modules for a AWS management console. However, several of them were based on existing modules; essentially he forked / continued development of AWS API, REST Client, and Amazon EC2 Client.

I suggested he pursue potential maintainership to push his changes and improvements back into these modules to avoid duplicate effort in what are essentially the same module.

His CVS application is at http://drupal.org/node/919966. If you have time, I would really appreciate it if you could review his code since you are clearly very familiar with the AWS API. In turn, if his vision for the code is copacetic, and his changes are palatable, perhaps you would consider having him as a co-maintainer, or at least accept his changes as patches.

yas this looks good. There are some coding format standards that should be fixed, most of those are in my original module though as it was one of my first Drupal modules, so this is definitely not a criticism against you.

While I have interest in the area of creating a great HTTP client as is shown by the lack of progress on this module, I really don't have the time for it. In light of that I am willing to allow you take over maintainership of the rest_client module.

Has there been any committed drupal 6 code for this module? We're looking to use it.

I've cleaned up the coding standard stuff, and I'm building out a simpletest file for the module. I'd like to submit patches back to you but I would need to be working off the latest from the repository to do so properly.

Any chance this has been published to CVS or Github yet?

I'd be interested to see this module actively maintained. I can help with testing and documentation for sure :-)

Now I am applying my CVS account at http://drupal.org/node/919966, and I am including the latest version of REST Client module (originally created by @dragonwize) into the attached file at:

http://drupal.org/node/919966#comment-4020048 (That is Drupal 6.x version)

@dragonwise

drupal.org's Git migration has been completed, so could you please give me a privilege of the maintainer of this project?

The module is currently working on D6.

Done. Welcome.

@yas:

Could you please summarise the status of the D6 REST client? is it ready for use in projects other than your cloud management tool?

Personally I would like to see a standard API which treated a REST server as if it were a foreign content management system. I guess that is quite different from what you needed.

As before, I'm willing to help if I can.

Thank you, dragonwise. I've just "push"ed 6.x-1.x to Git.

@alexmc

The REST Client is independent other than our cloud management tool. Could you please try to download it from Git? :

git clone --branch 6.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/project/rest_client.git
cd rest_client

or

URI: http://git.drupal.org:project/rest_client.git
Host: git.drupal.org
Repository Path: /project/rest_client
Branch: 6.x-1.x
