Remember my mobile web server? Well, in addition to all its juicy mobile goodness, it also has a nice RESTful API. For example, this URL:
http://ruk.mymobilesite.net/rest/presence/devicestate
will get you an XML file, served from the web server on the phone, that looks something like this:
<devicestate> <battery_level>100</battery_level> <localtime>2008-08-23T17:04:57-03:00</localtime> <connection_type>WLAN</connection_type> </devicestate>
Similarly, if you do an HTTP POST to:
http://ruk.mymobilesite.net/rest/inbox/message
you can send me a text message. It’s really quite neat.
