Question

I've been looking at the rest script documentation, trying to understand it. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug or misconfiguration on twiki.org. Clicking the example prints an error message (in, what I assume, is rest format). More generally, I'd like to know how to get a summary of TWiki REST functionality. That is, which plugins have "registered" which subjects and verbs. 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<title>500 Internal Server Error</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Internal Server Error</h1>
<p>The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete
your request.</p>
<p>Please contact the server administrator,
 peter@structuredwikis.com and inform them of the time the error occurred,
and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.</p>
<p>More information about this error may be available
in the server error log.</p>

The rest script is a worry - it is not REST at all, and does nothing in the default TWiki. Its actually a replacement for the way that addons used to add their own cgi-scripts, causing all sorts of security issues.

I am working (together with Crawford) on creating a real REST interface, building on the restHandlers, but we need to continue working on the TopicObjectModel.
