    curl -iX GET localhost:8000/drones/

The previous commands will compose and send an HTTP GET request. The request specifies /drones/, and therefore, it will match the '^drones/$' regular expression and run the get method for the views.DroneList class-based view. The method executed in the generic view will use the new settings we added to enable the offset/limit pagination, and the result will provide us with the first four drone resources. ...
