Introduction - GwynethLlewelyn/restbot GitHub Wiki

RESTbot (where “REST” stands for Representational State Transfer), allows popular web languages to work through Second Life. RESTbots appear as “unmanned” avatars in Second Life and use XML to act as an intermediary between the world wide web and the metaverse.

Created by Pleiades (http://pleiades.ca/) in 2007 (http://pleiades.ca/2007/09/28/restbot-unveiled/) but apparently not being maintained any longer.
