Amazon S3 in pure Tcl
Darren New
the basic library interfacing to the REST API. That is, given a verb and
a resource and the content and appropriate headers, it does the
authorization header, calculates MD5s, etc. It works either
synchronously or via the event loop, depending on how you ask it to
return the results. (I messed the design up a bit, allowing you to pass
in a channel for data when I actually need a file name, since
content-length is required, but that's pretty easy to fix.)
After that, I'll need an XML parser and such to actually figure out what
the results are, and build the high-level interface for things like
listing buckets and such, then the Tk interface for browsing. But this
went much smoother than I thought it would.
Just ... nobody start it fresh without me. ;-) I'm going to have to let
it go fallow for a few weeks.

Check out TclDOM and tDOM.

I had already found them. Nothing in tcllib already? I'm surprised.
(I'm trying to make it rely on as little from other sources as possible.)

TclXMLs pure Tcl parser, and the TclDOM one, but those are very slow. I
usually just use tDOM for most things, the lib is rather small usually
easy to build, included in AS Tcl and has a good api.
But if you want to write a pure Tcl version of the tDOM API (lots of
work, because it includes things like XML, DOM, XPATH) you could do it
and i think it would be happily included in Tcllib.

"Included in AS Tcl" seems like sufficiently easy to obtain. I think I
need to get a new version of AS Tcl, then, since this doesn't seem to be
in my installation. 8.5a1 still here. Anyway, I'll track it down when
I get back from being away.
Something with xpath so I could easily suck out the parts I need would
be nice.
(I think I wound up with the pure-tcl md5 and sha1 as well, which aren't
known for their blazing speed either. ;-)

from a script via appendFromScript and createNodeCmd.
