3,5"-disk-rotating-in-memory-database

DISK

This database stores 512-byte-text-blocks. It emulates 3,5"-disks with a maximum storage of 1.44MB. If more text-blocks are written to a disk, old text-blocks will be removed automatically (block-rotate).

REST-API

You can use GET, POST (or PUT) and DELETE with a JSON-object in the request-body:

GET /[diskid](/[id])
POST|PUT /[diskid](/[id]) JSON-object
DELETE /[diskid]/[id]

When POSTing, [id] will be added to the JSON-object with key "id".
The block will contain the JSON (text), limited to the defined block-size(!).

API

You can POST a JSON-object, that contains your request:

{
  diskid:[diskid],
  command:[read|write|delete|format|info|help|housekeeping],
  block:[text],
  filter:[number of blocks from tail]
}

HTTP-API

You can use GET (just call the URL):

/[diskid](/[command])(/[block])

HTTP-COMMANDLINE

The server provides an HTML-interface with a command-line-emulator:

/insert [diskid]  
/eject  
/read ([diskid]) ([number of blocks from tail])  
/write [text]  
/delete [text]  
/format [diskid]  
/info  
/help  
/housekeeping  
any line not starting with / will be written to current disk
