REST message formats documentation.

[tullio0106]

I'm trying to use the REST zimbra interface and all works well but message I receive are hard to understand.
Is there any documentation about such messages ?

There is a documentation for REST in source code repository, ZimbraServer/docs/rest.txt.

But I am not sure if it could help you.
So how about showing the messages you've got to us here.

This is a "typical" message I get
<m id="83742" rev="208744" d="1318234892000" s="2396" l="2" cid="83743">
<e d="Marco" t="f" p="MXYZ" a="xyz@qqqqq.it"/>
<su>Re: script cache pin</su>
<fr>Scusate, ho sbagliato destinatari. -- Messaggio originale --</fr>
</m>

Quite cryptic.
Is there any explanation ?

I guess you have already got it.
But the response format looks xml(SOAP).
So ZimbraServer/docs/soap.txt can help you.
You shold check "GetMsgRequest" or "AddMsgRequest".

Or you can change the format.
You better check this out for that:

My question is very easy I see tags named <m>, <a>, <f> etc... and I shoud immagine what they mean.
Where can I find the meaning ?
XML format is god for me.
Another question You told me about a directory in the server I can't access : where can I find such docs in the net ?

On your server the docs are in /opt/zimbra/docs

And indeed, the result you get is from SOAP API, not REST API.

Part of the reason for this is simply try and minimize amount of xml transmitting. e generally is envelope, m is message, etc. As mentioned by others, look at the SOAP description to figure it out.
