How to create RESTful URLs
informationREST,
Representational State Transfer, is a means of creating very nice URLs.
When
using REST, the URLs will be clean, readable, and any
person wishing to request
information can use them. i.e. If
you have a dictionary site, and you wish to provide clean easy
access, simply design using REST.
examples
“http://localhost:8080/lookup/python”
“http://localhost:8080/lookup/machine”

def title(self):
return 'RESTful URL'
def
writeContent(self):
item =
self.request().extraURLPath()
if
os.path.exists('MyContext' + item + '.txt'):
f = open('MyContext' + item + '.txt','r')
self.writeln(f.read())
