iHack, therefore iBlog

The idea is that as a
client I could do something
like:
=====
import
deth

dict=deth.getDict(“http://somesite.com/users/“)
dict[“firstname”]=”Ernie”
dict[“lastname”]=”Prabhakar”

nextDict=deth.postDict(dict,
“http://somesite.com/users/“)
=====

And
hopefully something just as simple on the server. It would be nice to have a
cgi or something that would turn the url-encoded key-value pairs into a XOXO
‘dl’ entry, and simply pass that XHTML document over stdin. My server could
then just
do:
=====
import
deth
import
sys
doc=””
for
line in sys.stdin:

doc=doc+line
if “</html>” in
line:

dict=deth.HTMLtoDict(doc)

result=processDict(dict) # whatever

outDoc=deth.dicttoHTML(result)

sys.stdout.write(outDoc)

doc=””
=====
