I am trying to create a simple rest server that responds to scripts that I attach to pages I visit(using Greasemonkey).

I cannot get the vibe.d project to respond to requests.

I have used the example project 

import std.typecons : Nullable;
import vibe.d;
import std.stdio;

@path("/")
interface IMyAPI
{
	// GET /api/greeting
	@property string greeting();

	// PUT /api/greeting
	@property void greeting(string text);

	// POST /api/users
	@path("/users")
	void addNewUser(string name);

	// GET /api/users
	@property string[] users();

	// GET /api/:id/name
	string getName(int id);

	// GET /some_custom_json
	Json getSomeCustomJson();
}

// vibe.d takes care of all JSON encoding/decoding
// and actual API implementation can work directly
// with native types

class API : IMyAPI
{
	private {
		string m_greeting;
		string[] m_users;
	}

	@property string greeting() { return m_greeting; }
	@property void greeting(string text) { m_greeting = text; }

	void addNewUser(string name) { m_users ~= name; }

	@property string[] users() { return m_users; }

	string getName(int id) { return m_users[id]; }

	Json getSomeCustomJson()
	{
		Json ret = Json.emptyObject;
		ret["somefield"] = "Hello, World!";
		return ret;
	}
}

// actual usage, this is usually done in app.d module
// constructor

void static_this()
{
	import vibe.http.server, vibe.http.router;


	auto settings = new HTTPServerSettings;
	auto router = new URLRouter;
	router.registerRestInterface(new API());
		
			
	settings.options |= HTTPServerOption.parseJsonBody;
	settings.bindAddresses = ["::1", "127.0.0.1"];
	settings.port = 80;
	listenHTTP(settings, router);

}

I run this then try to make a request either using js or soapUI but they always fail with connection error.

The javascript request is 

$.ajax({
  url: 'http://127.0.0.1/',
  type: 'GET',
  //contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
  contentType: "application/json"
  dataType: "json",      
  data: 'greeting', // or $('#myform').serializeArray()
  success: function() { alert('GET completed'); },
  error: function (qXHR, exception) {   alert(JSON.stringify(qXHR)); },
  done: function(msg) { alert("DONE: " + msg ); }

});

I am new to using rest so I do not know if I am doing something wrong, if it is a configuration issue, or what.

I have tried various things. I ultimately simply want to send the url to the vibe.d rest app.

Any ideas? And any ideas to get some type of feedback so I know if at least the request is making it in to the vibe d framework?

Thanks.
