            Description

            Hi,

            Two changes to make it easier:

            1) Now you don't need a key. As soon as you are authenticated, you can run (example)

            http://example.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/rest.php?q=civicrm/contact/search
            or with more param (only the individuals, and return the name, mail and country)
            http://example.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/rest.php?q=civicrm/contact/search&contactType=Individual&return[email]=1&return[sort_name]=1&return[country]=1

            on every case you can have it as a json format:
            http://example.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/rest.php?q=civicrm/contact/search&json=1

            2) Now the authentication returns the session ID

            http://example.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/rest.php?q=civicrm/login&user=xx&pwd=yy
            returns a PHPSESSID that you can uses as a get param on the other queries

            eg:
            http://example.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/rest.php?q=civicrm/contact/search&PHPSESSID=a956745e3d0056377adaa63a1c9dbb95

                That's what your file should look like after the patch applied (you can replace your CRM/Utils/REST.php with this attachment).

                I made the changes from the patch into my v2.1 file. Should I submit a further patch for 2.1 users?
