HTTP_Resource_Services missing methods in help.

in SRP HTTP Framework
I can see missing methods for HTTP_Resource_Services help. I assume as they are documented in this reference that they are official.

    Missing "methods"?
  • BarryStevensBarryStevens
    Dont appear to be in the documentation for HTTP_Resource_Services.

    HTTP_Resource_Services('AddFormAction'
    HTTP_Resource_Services('GetSerializedResource'
    HTTP_Resource_Services('GetObject'

    Ah...okay. "methods" means something specific in HTTP/REST (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, etc.). We refer to these as services. Yes, these are official.
  • BarryStevensBarryStevens
    Ooops, sorry. and I thought I was coming to grips with it. Just a senior moment maybe.
  • BarryStevensBarryStevens
    Ah, now I realise why I subconsciously mixed method with service.
    This is from the inet_/html proc I am converting:

  • DonBakkeDonBakke
    To be fair to you, methods and services are interchangeable terms...especially with BASIC+ procedures that provide "commuter module" structures. The Utility() function uses the term "service", Set_Printer() uses the term "message", and Repository() uses both "message" and "method". So there is no consistency even with SSPs. It just so happens that HTTP has a very specific meaning for "method", so that's where I go when I see the term used in this context.
