Clients
Libraries: Reusable Client Design based on J.Moore Presentation
- Suggested by Javier
- Generic client that can be customized (see design in slide 12)
- http://s3.amazonaws.com/cimlabs/Oredev-Hypermedia-APIs.pdf
- video http://vimeo.com/20781278
Create a Client Cache based on Apache commons Client Cache.
- Suggested by Javier

- http://labs.xfinity.com/benchmarking-the-httpclient-caching-module
Add SSL support to Eiffel Net
- Suggested by Jocelyn
- Currently Eiffel Net does not provide any support to SSL (thus no HTTPS). For now Eiffel application often use the Eiffel cURL wrapper, but it would be more convenient to use directly Eiffel Net.
Build clients to consume popular RESTful APIs
- Suggested by Jocelyn & Javier
- Requirement: OAuth client eiffel component
- Google Discovery APIs
- Github
- Flickr
- ... etc
- This should reuse and improve the "http_client" provided by EWF. Eventually also write the EiffelNet implementation to be independant from cURL
