API GET example in Openshift

Issue

• We have a developer who is working on creating a demo of an application communicating with the OpenShift API. This is from an email thread we have with the sales support team (they advised we submit a case). I think an example would go a long way here. They would like to use PHP or Perl to make the call.

• We really would prefer to be able to use the REST API than a CLI when programming against this. If the goal here is to prove that we can interface with Openshift with our tool then the API would be the way to go. A CLI would require system calls from our system, which is possible, but not ideal. The API should work, but we get errors when trying to do things like:

create a OAuthAccessToken
POST /oapi/v1/oauthaccesstokens

• It seems we are forced to use the /oauth/authorize method instead, but it returns HTML. Also, we cannot seem to find any documentation on the /oauth "API" anywhere.

• Red Hat guys, can you provide some example code (Perl or PHP preferred) of how to make a successful connection via the REST API to get a token and then something simple like listing projects that are defined? There are really no examples in your current documentation that we can find.
