thrift for actionscript

[Edmond Lau <ed...@ooyala.com>]

Hi Thrift Developers -

I'm an engineer at an enterprise HD video startup called Ooyala, and
I've implemented a thrift library and code generator for actionscript.
 It's been tested and deployed, and it's been working out quite well.
I only have the binary protocol and a couple transport mechanisms (the
memory buffer and the http client) implemented for the library, and I
don't have any immediate plans to try to implement any of the
client/server rpc protocols b/c I don't have a need for them (yet).

Since I thought others might find my code useful, I was wondering a)
if there would be any interest in adding my
protocol/transport/compiler code to the thrift code base, and b) what
the code submission process would be like?

Thanks,
Edmond

Edmond and Todd, please do this:) I'd be happy to take a look.This would
also make it into one of the first async clients? (The AVM is
single-threaded)

Hi Edmond,

We've got a Thrift<->AS gateway that uses AMF rather than any thrift 
protocol. We'll probably push it out at some point to github for others to 
see.

We'd definitely be interested in looking at your work as well.

Thanks
-Todd

Hi Edmond,

a) Yes, definitely. This sounds great. 

b) Submission is pretty straightforward.

Go here: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT
Create a new issue, and post a .patch file with your changes.

I don't think you need to do any legal docs for us to commit this -- can
someone confirm that?

Is there anyone else on the list familiar with ActionScript that would
like to do a code review? If not, assuming the changes are isolated to
ActionScript-land, we'll go aheads and commit them.

Cheers,
Mark
