No, we are not adding social networking to the product but we are offering a full featured Contacts web service. A sample HTTP_CONTACTS_SERVICES has shipped with the product for some time, but it was mostly there as example code and was never connected to a database table. No more! We are now including a sample CONTACTS database table (tied to the GLOBAL database). Just attach and then run the Contacts web service out of the box. We have also updated HTTP_CONTACTS_SERVICES to support all major CRUD activities, including searching via query parameters. We've added a lot of comments to this routine to get both novice and experienced web developers productive even quicker. Use this routine as a template for your own web services or copy bits and pieces to augment exist services.

Ah CRUD...

Speaking of providing a functioning web service that demonstrates create, read, update, and delete functionality, we enhance enhanced the HTTP_RESOURCE_SERVICES utility to fully support proper POST, PUT, and PATCH operations against database table resources. POST will create new database rows when the server needs to generate the next Key ID. PUT creates (or updates) database rows when the client specifies the Key ID. Finally, PATCH updates only those specific columns that are passed into the web service (OECGI4 v4.0.0.3 or higher required).

3.0.0

Version 3.0.0 introduces new features to make it easier to configure setup values and to accept special URLs without requiring authentication.
