Apache usefully splits up the uri into its constituent parts:

http://www.srcdoc.com/apache_2.0.54/structapr__uri__t.html

So it's easy to get the path bit: /api/0.5/... And everything after a ? if one occurs

So parsing the uri should just be a question of splitting the first bit on '/ ' and the second on & and then =...

Required strings for 0.5:

// <host>/api/0.5 // // Creation: PUT <objtype>/create + xml - returns id // Retrieval: GET <objtype>/id - returns xml // Update: PUT <objtype>/<id> + xml - returns nothing // Delete: DELETE <objtype>/<id> - returns nothing

// GET /api/0.5/map?bbox=<left>,<bottom>,<right>,<top> // GET /api/0.5/trackpoints?bbox=<left>,<bottom>,<right>,<top>&page=<pagenumber> // GET /api/0.5/<objtype>/<id>/history // GET /api/0.5/<objtype>s?<objtype>s=<id>[,<id>] // GET /api/0.5/node/<id>/ways // GET /api/0.5/<objtype>/<id>/relations // GET /api/0.5/<objtype>/<id>/full // GET /api/0.5/changes?hours=1&zoom=16 // GET /api/0.5/ways/search?type=<type>&value=<value> // GET /api/0.5/relations/search?type=<type>&value=<value> // GET /api/0.5/search?type=<type>&value=<value> // POST /api/0.5/gpx/create // GET /api/0.5/gpx/<id>/details // GET /api/0.5/gpx/<id>/data // GET /api/0.5/user/preferences
