Hi @deveaud-m, you are correct. Fossdriver was originally based on the fossup project from Togan Labs, and pre-dates the REST API.
I haven't yet explored the REST API, as the server I'm using for day-to-day work is still on version 3.3.0. I expect to upgrade it to a more current version sometime in the near future, so I'll likely explore the REST API at that point and look to make changes to fossdriver as appropriate.
In the meantime, if there are PRs you'd like to submit to help address problems you're seeing, I'd be happy to merge them.
My long-term hope would be that Fossdriver becomes unnecessary altogether -- or just becomes a thin wrapper around the REST API -- if the Fossology REST API reaches a stage where it can provide all of the functionality from Fossdriver.
FYI, I've now updated to a version 3.6.0 Fossology server, so I'll be revisiting this. Planning to automatically enable use of the REST API within fossdriver where possible.
Fossdriver was probably started when the REST API of Fossology was not available
Are there any plans regarding an integration of the REST endpoints into this library?
