REST Url Design
Generic question
Which solution is the better one :
- /%user%/module_name/ressources/
- /module_name/%user%/ressources/
The first case will allow use to store the users in a database on the server. It allow us to have something really near from an hosting managment, but it remove to the user some possibility of configuration.
MySQL module
/mysql/
GET : list the mysql users
PUT : add a user (name, password)
/mysql/%user%/
GET : list the user database
PUT : add a database
DELETE : delete the user
POST : edit the user (password)
/mysql/%user%/%database%/
GET : list the database rights
PUT : add a database privilege
DELETE : delete the database
/mysql/%user%/%database%/alter-table/
/mysql/%user%/%database%/create-table/
/mysql/%user%/%database%/select/
GET : return the privilege status
DELETE : remove the privilege
POST : edit the privilege
Subversion module
/subversion/
GET : list the subversion repositories
PUT : add a repository
/subversion/%repository/
