Curl Code Samples

These samples use the popular curl command line utility.

OPTIONS

This example shows how calling OPTIONS causes Ehcache server to respond with the WADL for that resource

curl --request OPTIONS http://localhost:8080/ehcache/rest/sampleCache2/2

The server responds with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<application xmlns="http://research.sun.com/wadl/2006/10">
<resources base="http://localhost:8080/ehcache/rest/">
<resource path="sampleCache2/2">
<method name="HEAD"><response><representation mediaType="
...
</resource>
</resources>
</application>

HEAD

curl --head http://localhost:8080/ehcache/rest/sampleCache2/2

The server responds with:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
X-Powered-By: Servlet/2.5
Server: GlassFish/v3

The server will put Hello World into sampleCache2 using key 3.
