How can I replace the Python cgi script with CF

Question

I am testing the sample app and want to just use CF to track
peer ids.
Can you give me the api to the web service calls.
I can then create the CFC to handle this.
In order to use the sample application that you built, you
need to setup your web server and host the provided Python script
(reg.cgi) for exchanging peer IDs. Please note that setting up the
web service is not needed for the hosted VideoPhone sample. In
VideoPhoneLabs.mxml, please set WebServiceUrl accordingly. You may
also use Google Apps to host this web service (minimal
modifications required).
The Python script should be placed in the cgi-bin location
according to your web server installation. The database is an
SQLite3 database. In reg.cgi, please edit the location of the
database in variable dbFile.
You also need to create a database scheme using the
followings:
CREATE TABLE registrations (
m_username VARCHAR COLLATE NOCASE,
m_identity VARCHAR,
m_updatetime DATETIME,
PRIMARY KEY (m_username)
CREATE INDEX registrations_updatetime ON registrations
(m_updatetime ASC);

Answer 1

the sample web service we provided has the following API:
to record peerID "1234" for username "foo", do
http://your.domain/cgi-bin/reg.cgi?username=foo&identity=1234
you should get back an XML document with result.update=true
or false depending on whether the database was updated.
to look up the peerID for username "foo", do
http://your.domain/cgi-bin/reg.cgi?friends=foo
you should get back an XML document like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<result>
<friend>
<user>foo</user>
<identity>1234</identity>
</friend>
</result>
there will be no "identity" entry if the user is not found.
the lookup is case-insensitive but case-preserving, so if you
looked up "Foo", the user field would be "Foo" but there'd be an
extra "registered" field with the username as it was registered.
