RESTful protocol
This page specifies the RESTful protocol between the client and server applications of the CASSANDRA platform.
The conventions for writing the protocol will be:
[uri returned] | [RESTful route] | [action]
Users should be able to login (MD5 hash and https as minimum security requirements) and after successfully entering their credentials, they should be redirected to /{usrnm}/prj, where a list of their projects should be displayed.
/{usrnm}/prj | GET /{usrnm}/prj | index
Fetches the working projects of the user with {usrnm}.
