More Features!

A lot of features have landed lately. I feel so fortunate to have such a great community of developers contributing to the project. Don’t believe everything you hear about the .NET open source community!

Here’s an overview of what’s new:

oAuth 1 Support

Daniel Crenna ported Hammock‘s oAuth implementation into a nice oAuth1Authenticator for RestSharp. I’ll be updating the documentation soon, but for now you can check out some sample usage examples in this test. Props to Daniel for this much needed addition.

AddFile support for async requests and better file upload handling

Andrew Young and Jon Fuller have totally overhauled the handling of file uploads including adding support for multipart forms in async requests. Since I did not want to tackle this myself, I’m VERY appreciative of their efforts.

Added RestClient.FollowRedirects and RestClient.MaxRedirects

At the request of Brandon Kaid I added access to the underlying HttpWebRequest.AllowAutoRedirect and HttpWebRequest.MaximumAutomaticRedirections properties via two properties on RestClient: FollowRedirects and MaxRedirects.

MonoTouch Support Added

Kevin McMahon worked out the kinks and got MonoTouch added. Thanks Kevin!

These are all great features on the march to the first release, which is (for real) just around the corner. It will be called RestSharp 100 Continue. Whenever the next release is, it will be called RestSharp 200 OK. Not sure how sustainable that is, but I’m going with it for now.
