Request Formatting

An incoming request must be a JSON string in the following format, and it _must_ terminate with "rn". Also note it passes a version attribute, allowing backwards compatibility to previous formats.:

'''{"app": "workshops", "service": "nearme", "params": {"request_path": "/nearme/123/08/2008/50/", "version":"v1.1"}}\r\n'''

'''{"app": "delicious.com",
                    "service": "rss_feed_for_test_only",
                    "params": {
                        "request_path": "/v2/rss/tag/python?count=5",
                        "format":"xml",
                        "base_url":  "http://feeds.delicious.com",
                        "url_patterns": ["/v2/rss"]
                    },
                    "version":"v1.1"
                }\r\n'''

Hudsucker also supports native services on Hudsucker.:

{"app": "hudsucker","service": "memcached", "params": {"key": "some_key", "value": "some_value", "expiry_minutes": "60"}, "version":"v1.1"}

{"app": "hudsucker","service": "diagnostics", "params": {"cmd": "ping", "servers": "myremotehost", "timeout_seconds": "5"}, "version":"v1.1"}

{"app": "hudsucker","service": "diagnostics", "params": {"cmd": "delete_log", "filename": "twistd.log.1"}, "version":"v1.1"}

{"app": "hudsucker","service": "diagnostics", "params": {"cmd": "stats"}, "version":"v1.1"}
