Hello and thanks for this video. It is true the 1/3 of the video is about modifying the http script. But the begining of this video helped me a lot. Is it possible to download your modified HTTP script or a GIT Gist? It makes more sense to me done in this way. Thanks in advance.
In this video, you actually only describe why and which changes you made to Todd's version of this script. That may be important in your opinion, but for me, that was not enough because I actually wanted to know everything about what this script does, which I could not really find out. Yes, you say that in a few seconds, but this video is 54 minutes long, and you tell us in about 40 minutes why you changed the code. I stopped at 45 this was totally useless for me. And it seems this video was pretty ego-driven; I'm not saying that was your intention. I am saying this because it does not help others fonding out about REST, this FM scripts and how to use it. You should maybe change the title to: Why I changed Todd's script.
Thanks for the feedback! Admittedly, it's hard to address all the possible levels of people who watch my videos, there are both advanced developers and newer learners. I apologize if the title seemed misleading. I try to avoid click bait because I dislike it myself. Hopefully, if you spend just a half hour or a bit more and simply watch the process of what the script does, by stepping through with the debugger, you'll get a VERY good idea of how REST works through HTTP. FileMaker's script debugger is your best friend!
