new methods replacing friends methods in interface/flat?

[rfrancis]

Heya folks,

I've got a social posting script (for aggregating other stuff into an LJ post, historically) that I was noodling with making it work with DW. (First step: throw out the ljrb library for Ruby, which hardcodes the Livejournal URL in requests. Sigh. But I digress.)

While noodling, I tried, as an example, the "getfriends" mode on the interface/flat API, and lo and behold, it told me I was friendless. Cheeky. But upon second thought, logical, since DW did away with the friends thing in favor of access and subscriptions. However... I have no clue how to get to that information, if indeed I even can, through said API.

In summary: any clues?

Thanks,

R

You have my vote for expanding the LJ flat protocol mode.

I'm currently building my own LJ client (there's no client on Linux/Gnome that has a GUI and is actively maintained...). I use the flat protocol to get everything done. I would love to support the DW extensions.
