Network, what network? That’s the mindset change you go through with the new breed of Web services.

Forget that you’re doing HTTP requests to a service running in Project Zero. If you want to call it from a command line you do this:

wget http://<ipaddress>:8080/services/app.groovy

You then realize that this service is available to anyone and from anywhere (assuming your pc is on a network), and you can run it from a command line, application code, or even a browser. Sweet.

Nadolig Llawen!
