629270 - I would like a web service to post OpenSearch hits to, for metrics.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Messaging Graveyard :: Server Operations, defect)

Description

[Blake Winton (:bwinton) (:☕️)]

I suspect I'll just be sending one of the names in this list:
["Wikipedia (en)", "Bing", "eBay", "Creative Commons", "Answers.com", "Amazon.com", "Yahoo", "Google"]
but accepting any string (for extensibility) seems like a good idea.

Thanks,
Blake.

SOomething like :

https://opensearch.live.mozillamessaging.com/search/google?q=[xxxx]
 =>
http://www.googe.com/search?q=[xxxx]

And really, internally we'd have mappings like:

/google => http://www.google.com/search

And pass everything else along, right ??

we decided to take pings with a get parameter, return 206, use access logs to store metrics, everyone wins!

Can we agree on the format of these pings ?

Sure,  Pick something, and I'll code that up.

(I figured it would be along the lines of http://…/…?provider=<XXX> )

Later,
Blake.

How about https://opensearch.live.mozillamessaging.com/search?provider=google

(I asked Sancus, and he said he can't do it, so I'm assigning it to you so that it doesn't get lost.  Also, we're hoping to release the add-on next week, so getting this up soon would be good.)
