B4J Question Rest Http connection

[alienhunter]

Hi ,
is this possible?
To the extent that systems conform to the constraints of REST they can be called RESTful. RESTful systems typically, but not always, communicate over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with the same HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)

I'm not an expert, but i would say it is.
Whatever tool you use to write a server, it's only the way you map URLs to your handlers that make your API (more or less) RESTful.

Sure it works. Use (ok)httputils2

Hi,

may be of use = recently explored communicating with openHAB (Home Automation) via the openHAB REST API - see here and as part of my B4J HowTos Project Examples:
114. TinkerForge openHAB REST API Example IO-16 Bricklet (20160223) - Download B4J Project.

The communication is basically done using the standard HTTP methods (with the B4J Libraries jhttputils2 and jhttp), e.g. define the URL and then httpjob.download (=get) and http.poststring or putstring. Use the jobdone event to work the result.
