Web Stuff

  • WebReq.form() - lazily parses application/x-www-form-urlencoded into Str:Str
  • web::WebClient will manage client side HTTP connections
  • web::WebFile models a sys::File using HTTP
    • exists, size, modified: kicks off HEAD request
    • in: kicks off GET request
    • out: kicks off PUT request

Uri Stuff

  • Uri will always be normalized and represented in memory as decoded (spaces, Unicode, etc)
  • Uri.decode takes encoded URI (%20)
  • Uri.parse takes normal String (space)
  • Uri.decodeQuery - used by WebReq.form

File Types

  • sys::File models storage LocalFile, ZipFile, WebFile
  • MimeType will model file content and be subclass of Type (icon, registry type, etc)
  • MimeTypes are dynamic created - maybe from serialization file?

Namespace:

  • URIs map to the "model" and resolve to Obj
  • Weblets are views on the model and map into URIs via query param
  • Registry based approach to map view types to model types
  • Registry is dynamically configurable
  • How do we deal with a stateful tree in our threading model?
  • Namespace nodes might be treated transactionally like detached RowSets
