Re:CloudKit Now Supports Server-To-Server Web Service Requests on Saturday February 06, 2016 @03:22AM (#11046994)
Yes, you can access blobs too. I've been using the HTTP API (the one that backs CloudKitJS) to process data in app engine. So far I just used the JS API token for authentication. Records with an associated blob asset provide a temporary accessible URL to the asset which is usually stored on S3.

Not sure about latency of the requests, never had a problem with that. More often the problem was that I had confirmation my client software had written data to CloudKit but it might take a while before the server can actually query for it. (Could be an indexing delay haven't checked if the object is immediately available using the object ID)

Which is based around a HTTP API (also documented by Apple). Not that hard to wrap that in an easily usable SDK for other platforms.

Question is: what license is that work released under (GPL3?) and does that license require attribution?

I use Arq (http://www.haystacksoftware.com/arq/) to backup my data to Amazon Glacier (and S3).

Cool. Feedback is always appreciated.

I'm also collecting interesting compositions for demo & test purposes. So anything you're able to share might help me implement the required patches.

Re:BrowserID: Logging in with BrowserID, Passport and NodeJS on Monday May 07, 2012 @05:18AM (#3938282)
What will happen to it when they will rename to 'Mozilla Personas'? Will the login screen suddenly show the Mozilla Persona logo instead of BrowserID as it currently does? I can't imagine this gaining any traction with bigger sites / brands if it is pushing the Mozilla brand.
Re:WebAppKit - create web applications using Cocoa on Monday July 25, 2011 @04:48AM (#2801848)
While I do like the thought of using CoreData and code I've written for other apps on the web, the following sentence immediately made this thing much less interesting: "WebAppKit runs exclusively in garbage collection mode to minimize the memory management burden." I've never liked garbage collection, if you find memory management a burden, you're doing it wrong. And now that Apple introduced ARC even Apple recommends against using the GC.
