    Need sample implementation of getting a token with uREST

    I'm used to the SOAP webservices and am now convinced about REST/JSON..

    I would like to see the process of getting an auth token.

    If I do this in a browser:

    http://www.mysite.com/rest/token?username=myusername&Password=mypassword&type=user

    I get an error:

     

    405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.

    What am I doing wrong?  I know it's an easy answer.. 

    Thanks in advanc.

    Hey Daniel,

    Documentation for the Token service can be found here:

    http://urest4umb.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Token&referringTitle=Documentation

    What you need to do is create a POST request, rather than a GET request, passing in the username/password and type of auth token you require (user/member), the response to that request will then contain a json object with the auth token contained in the "Value" field.

    Does that answer your question? or do you need an actual code example?

    Cheers

    Matt

    PS If you haven't done already, I'd recommend you read the intro page for details on a few of the core principles.

    That makes total sense..  I can do it in .Net, but the next question is from another developer doing some side work for a client.

    He's using Delphi and would like to pull data from Umbraco using REST.  I'm not to kean on Delphi, but that's the case.

    He's getting an error when testing:

    Socket Error #11004

    Any thoughts on that on?

    Thanks

    Hey Daniel,

    Crickey, that's a new one, though by the sounds of it, it seems like a DNS error, rather than specifically uREST. From a quick google maybe this will help:
