user42930: I'm reading the Ciao library and can't make out the difference between Ciao REST server and Ciao REST connector.
When is the connector suitable and at what point do I need the server?
This is a graphic of what im thinking to do:


user10394: I don't know about "Ciao" but generally a rest server answers requests from a client that is connecting via a rest connector.
You client will use POST, GET, PUT, etc. to ask the server to provide a service.  This could be as simple as "GET .\index.htm" or more likely posting information to be stored in a database.
The server will sit waiting for these requests and will have handling routines for each specific request and might supply a response.
