[wsf-c-dev] [wsf-php] How to handle a rest get with a php service

Under default settings, PHP engine gets invoked through web server (httpd) based on the file extension in the request url. I think, we need to find out the answer to the following question in order to support service/method?arguments
How does the web server know that it should pass the request to PHP engine (and then to wsf/php extension) based on the REST request url?Nabeel.On 3/3/07,

I think its critical to support service/method?arguments. Otherwise theAPI is not RESTful because the URI base is not identifying the actualoperation to execute.Nandika, can you explain why its a problem to support this in PHP? If the
PHP file is the service then all that's needed is for that php file to dothe next step dispatching itself AFAICT.Sanjiva.Nabeel Yoosuf wrote:> I am not an expert in REST, but I want to point out an example. Using
