HTTP POST requests

HTTP Proxy blocks are accessible via HTTP and allow HTTP POST requests to update their value. (HTTP Proxies conform to the Linked Data Notifications specification)

A certain value type must be selected in the HTTP Proxy, and only requests of that type will be accepted.

This document shows example POST requests for all possible value types. For the examples, we will use the curl command, which is installed by default on most UNIX systems.

The following examples assume a HTTP Proxy with ID 7 to exist (http://localhost:3000/networkElement/integratedrest/http/7)
