apifs enables users to interact with REST APIs (and any HTTP resource) as a file system.
go get github.com/gophergala/api-fs/cmd/apifs
To start the apifs service:
apifs -mountpoint=(mountpoint)
Once the apifs service is running, make a path that corresponds to a valid URL. For example:
apifs -mountpoint=/mnt/apifs & mkdir -p /mnt/apifs/golang.org/pkg
Each subdirectory in apifs contains one file, clone. To initiate a new
connection, read from clone. The resulting ID n will be the ID of the next
connection, with the side effect of creating two files, n.ctl and n.body.
To read the request response, read the n.body file in the same directory. If
the request was successful, n.body will contain the full body of the
response. Reads from n.body will block until n.ctl has been closed and the
request has finished.
The control file n.ctl contains a newline-delimited list of arguments for the
request. Valid forms are as follows:
- method method_type: HTTP request method
- query key [value]: HTTP query parameter with optional value
- header key [value]: HTTP header with optional value
