Update on Lab 2

We've been sorting out some issues with the reference implementation that you use in Lab 2. Still in progress. Some highlights:


Load balancer
The registration endpoint is borked. Registration of your backend should be done via POST. It is currently adding backends to the rotations, but the endpoint is only returning 500 server errors. We're on it.

Approval Queue
Submitted images get staged in an approval queue for human interaction. The TA approval queue is located at http://imaj.lddi.org:8080/approval/. Yes it is rough. You have to click the button for it to take an image out of the queue, and that page doesn't work unless you have Firebug enabled (not just installed, but enabled for that page).

Pagination
We've worked out enough kinks to get more than one page worth of images into the system :) Now you can test out your pagination code. Additionally, I've added some explanation on Paging to the course wiki. This will help in figuring out the parameters to /list/recent and /list/popular .
