Using Corona Cloud Outside Corona...

Hi,

In some of the publicity you talk about Corona Cloud being available outside of Corona users. I have a legacy app was was developed in another SDK (Dragonfire) - is there a way I can use standard http post to talk to Corona Cloud?

Thanks,

Nathan.

The Cloud API is all REST web API calls and as long as you can make http requests using basic authentication and you have support for GET, POST, PUT and DELETE http requests you should be able to use Corona Cloud.

Hi Guys,

I was going to create a new thread but this is related :wink:

Is there any way to get around the need for PUT and DELETE?

Im thinking of using Corna Cloud with Unity but it only supports GET and POST.

I must admit I know very little about REST but from my googling it sounds like its sometimes possible to just use POST and add for example, ?action=delete to the url. Is there any chance that would work with Corona Cloud?

Hi Dell,

This is an issue we’ve been monitoring for a while now, so we have been thinking of ways around it.

Unfortunately the limitation of not having the full RESTful verbs is not only limited to Unity, so this is a hot topic for the Cloud team to find a solution for.

I will keep you guys posted.

Thanks
