webmachine

Overview

Webmachine is an application layer that adds HTTP semantic awareness on top of the excellent bit-pushing and HTTP syntax-management provided by mochiweb, and provides a simple and clean way to connect that to your application’s behavior.

More information is available here.

Quick Start

A shell script is provided in the webmachine repository to help users quickly and easily create a new webmachine application.

git clone git://github.com/basho/webmachine.git
cd webmachine
./scripts/new_webmachine.sh mydemo

A destination path can also be passed to the new_webmachine.sh script.

./scripts/new_webmachine.sh mydemo ~/webmachine_applications

Once a new application has been created it can be built and started.

cd mydemo
make
./start.sh

The application will be available at http://localhost:8000.
