# About
A very simple prototype providing an HTTP interface to Redis. It uses [hiredis ](https://github.com/antirez/hiredis ) and [jansson ](https://github.com/akheron/jansson ).

curl http://127.0.0.1:7379/GET/hello

# Ideas
* Add meta-data info per key (MIME type in a second key, for instance).
* Find a way to format multi-bulk data without JSON.
* Support PUT, DELETE, HEAD?
* Add JSONP callbacks.
* Add logging.
* Add support for Redis UNIX socket.
* Enrich config file:
* Provide timeout (this needs to be added to hiredis first.)
* Restrict commands by IP range
* Send your ideas using the github tracker or on twitter [@yowgi ](http://twitter.com/yowgi ).
# HTTP error codes that could be used (although that's not the case at the moment)
* Missing key: 404 Not Found
* Timeout on the redis side: 503 Service Unavailable
* Unknown verb: 405 Method Not Allowed
# JSON output
The URI `/COMMAND/arg0/arg1/.../argN` returns a JSON object with the command as a key and the result as a value.
**Examples:**
< pre >
// string
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:7379/GET/y
{"GET":"41"}
// number
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:7379/INCR/y
{"INCR":42}
// list
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:7379/LRANGE/x/0/1
{"LRANGE":["abc","def"]}
// status
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:7379/TYPE/y
{"TYPE":[true,"string"]}
// error, which is basically a status
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:7379/MAKE-ME-COFFEE
{"MAKE-ME-COFFEE":[false,"ERR unknown command 'MAKE-ME-COFFEE'"]}
