The RESTful server

Here is the definition of the ToDo List web service that has been serving as an example:

HTTP Method  URI                                                Action
GET          http://[hostname]/todo/api/v1.0/tasks	        Retrieve list of tasks
GET          http://[hostname]/todo/api/v1.0/tasks/[task_id]    Retrieve a task
POST         http://[hostname]/todo/api/v1.0/tasks	        Create a new task
PUT          http://[hostname]/todo/api/v1.0/tasks/[task_id]    Update an existing task
DELETE       http://[hostname]/todo/api/v1.0/tasks/[task_id]    Delete a task

The only resource exposed by this service is a "task", which has the following data fields:

• uri: unique URI for the task. String type.
• title: short task description. String type.
• description: long task description. Text type.
• done: task completion state. Boolean type.
