[Freeswitch-users] RESTful Bounty ..... Putting the competition to REST with RestFul VoIP2.x services

[EdPimentl]

I am putting a bounty to add RESTful WebServices in FreeSwitch.
The bounty ask that TONIC is use as the RESTful Framework.
TONIC should then be use to create simple CALLback application and establish
ad-hoc VoiceConference.

To those not familiar with TONIC here is write up.
Tonic <http://tonic.sourceforge.net/> A *REST*ful Web App Development
Framework

Tonic is an open source less is more, RESTful Web application development
and Web site management PHP script designed to do things "the right way",
where resources are king and the framework gets out of the way and leaves
the developer to get on with it.

Tonic helps you develop Web applications that embrace the way the Web really
works, enabling your applications to scale, extend and work with other
systems easily.
 Everything is a resourceTonic works exclusively with resources, a resource
is simply a piece of data with some metadata accessable by a URL using HTTP
methods. Everything within a Tonic system is a resource and so can be
handled via the standard HTTP interface.Domain modelling through resourcesWhen
modelling your problem domain within a Tonic system, every domain object is
a resource or a collection of resources.Keep it simple, stupid!Following the
Unix philosophy of many small parts working together via a common interface,
Tonic uses resources as it's "programs" and HTTP as it's "streams" to enable
you to build complexity out of simplicity. Main features

Tonic embraces a number of standard Web features and best practices, as well
as features, principles and ideas taken from PHP, Unix, and other software
design patterns:

   - Resource editing via HTTP PUT and DELETE methods (or via the
   Resource::save() and Resource::remove() PHP methods)
   - Easy to extend via new resource classes
   - HTTP basic and digest authentication
   - Resource method permissions to provide authorisation to individual
   resource methods
   - Output templating via Smarty
   - Output caching via HTTP 304 response codes and modified headers
   - Extendable resource storage types via adapters
   - Content negotiation
   - Match multiple URLs to a single resource
   - Follows Unix modular design principles


And here is why everything one does or will do, should be done via RESTFul
messaging..
Think about it, Google, AMAZON, YAHOO have standardized on REST.
