[FLOW3-general] JSON

[Zachary Davis, Cast Iron Coding LLC]

Robert,

As far as I can tell, the RESTController currently works pretty well 
insofar as the CRUD request types lead to the expected methods being 
called in the controller.

It seems to me that what's missing is a request handler for the JSON 
request. I started putting together a JSON request handler that takes 
over when the request contains an "application/json" content-type 
header. I don't know if this is the best way to do this or not; I'm 
mostly following what was done in the ExtJS package for the ExtDirect 
request handler and using it as an opportunity to learn more about how 
FLOW3 works with the request.

And in fact that already works if you submit a real GET / POST / PUT / DELETE request (or at least it should work). What I haven't yet come to implement is an emulation mechanism for cases when no PUT / DELETE etc. is possible. I'm not sure yet what syntax to use - I guess a DELETE request would be triggered by a special GET parameter. But how would we call it?
