Bitzi Developer Discussion: XML service to search for a file?

Main Site : bboard : Bitzi Developer Discussion : One Message

Message:

XML service to search for a file?   [forward as email]
Bitzi seems to be designed for the HASH->Metadata direction.

Is there a standard way to take metadata and obtain matching hashes? By standard, I mean something like an XML service similar to the search page on the front of the site. I like that search page, but i have no guarantee the format won't change.

Please respond to [email protected]

I would like to search for other hashtypes.

Some kind of distributed hash2hash database service would be great.

One change (tiger: becomes tree:tiger:)

http://bitzi.com/lookup/tree:tiger:PWHYUC4L5DBSBFADUBKD4JAHAQVMNXQL3WIEIGI

and one addition:

http://bitzi.com/lookup/sig2dat:jKQ8vIQsIzboNZJsIWbCi8G5//8

NB these assorted non-SHA1 lookups aren't yet supported by the RDF/XML ticket lookup service.

Two comments:

1) I would like to be able to get the RDF ticket for these just by making my HTTP client put a

Accept: application/rdf+xml

in the headers section.

2) You still can't lookup by audioSha1:

http://bitzi.com/lookup/audioSha1:SONXX3QED4RDNVYNV52D7GFDSL5D74I3

should go to the same page as

http://bitzi.com/lookup/I5ISEK7FH4BCGTDXM5AN6G3KSJK2LVJE
