How to use Phil Sturgeon's REST_SERVER

[eluser]PaulDunn[/eluser]
Im just testing with the example code from the posted tutorial.

When I access the resource from the browser with http://localhost/user/id/1 I get the expected output.

When using curl from the osx terminal I get a 404 error. Im trying with:
curl http://localhost/user/id/1

From what i've read that should be all I need for a simple GET request using curl.

Also I dont know how to POST to this example api. By that I mean how can I test the post function with say xml or json. I cannot seem to get this working with curl.

Code:

require(APPPATH'.libraries/REST_Controller.php');  
  
class Example_api extends REST_Controller {  
  
    function user_get()  
    {  
        $data = array('returned: '. $this->get('id'));  
        $this->response($data);  
    }  
  
    function user_post()  
    {  
        $data = array('returned: '. $this->post('id'));  
        $this->response($data);  
    }  
  
    function user_put()  
    {  
        $data = array('returned: '. $this->put('id'));  
        $this->response($data;  
    }  
  
    function user_delete()  
    {  
        $data = array('returned: '. $this->delete('id'));  
        $this->response($data);  
    }  
}
