Overview

A micro REST interface to Redis (that can't get smaller).

POST HTTP requests are a call to SET in Redis using the POSTed body as the content.

GET HTTP requests are a call to GET in Redis.

The Redis key used in calls to GET and SET is only the first URL Path Segment (see RFC 3986).

Options

Flag	Type	Default	Option	Explanation
lockVersions	bool	false	true	Setting lockVersions to true will use a Redis SET call with the NX flag. The default is a regular SET call in Redis.
hostPort	string	":8080"	Any valid host:port	This is the host:port that bob will listen on.
redisHostPort	string	"127.0.0.1:6379"	The host:port for Redis	(Self explanatory)

Examples

1. Run bob on port 8081 using lockVersions

./bob -lockVersions=true -hostPort ":8081"

2. Store content

curl -v -X POST --data-binary "@locationOfSomeFile" :::8081/someKey

3. Get content

curl -v :::8081/someKey

4. Fail to modify content

curl -v -X POST --data-binary "@locationOfSomeFile" :::8081/someKey
