The new version of ocplib-resto :
- uses jbuilder ;
- is functorized over `Json_encoding` rather than `Json_repr` ;
- handles query parameters ;
- handles HTTP methods (GET, POST, DELETE, PUT, PATCH) ;
- replaces `custom_service` by a more generic trailer argument ;
- replaces generic answer `(code, body)` by a more ad-hoc sum type
(allowing distinct encoding for success and error) ;
- includes a minimal HTTP-server based on Cohttp
(includings CORS and media type negotiation).
- adds a function `Directory.transparent_lookup` to lookup/call
a service handler without serializing the various parameters
(path, query, request body).
As a first consequences in Tezos, this patch allows binary
communication between the client and the node.
This patch tries to be minimal inside the tezos source code and
therefore it introduces a minimal compatibility layer in
`RPC.ml`. This code should be removed as soon as possible.
Let's get serious. The full index of operations is not sustainable in
the production code. We now only keep the index of operations not yet
in the chain (i.e. the mempool/prevalidation). Operations from the
chain are now only accesible through a block. For instance, see the
RPC:
/blocks/<hash>/proto/operations
