5.1 Request Types

In the current version, GET and POST requests are supported. The GET request is used for reading of resources. It has no impact on the state of the target device or on the running executive. The same value is returned if multiple GET requests are processed while no state change in the target device or executive is performed. The POST request is used for setting value of a resource. Only data may be set by the POST request. It is not possible to change meta-data anyhow. The modified resource must be modifiable and a user has to be authorized and have proper permissions while modifying a resource by the POST request.
