Troubleshooting REST API

Test from Linux

Use your browser or another REST tool to test querying, deleting or updating using REST API. Below are some sample commands.

curl -k -i -u <uname>:<passwd> -H "Accept: application/xml" -X GET https://<servername>:8443/api

curl -k -i -u <uname>:<passwd> -H "Accept: application/xml" -X GET https://<servername>:8443/api/host

curl -k -i -u <uname>:<passwd> -H "Accept: application/xml" -X GET https://<servername>:8443/api/host/320

curl -k -i -u <uname>:<passwd> -H "Accept: application/xml" -X DELETE https://<servername>:8443/api/host/320

curl -k -i -u <uname>:<passwd> -H "Accept: application/xml" -X POST -d "mac=00:00:1D:33:44:55" -d "os=Windows" https://<servername>:8443/api/host/update
