2.1 Transport

Messages are transported by using HTTP POST and HTTP OPTIONS, as specified in [RFC2616]. These commands are sent via HTTP or Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS). The query parameters in the request URI can be encoded with base64 encoding (see section 2.2.1.1.1.1) or in plain text (see section 2.2.1.1.1.2). The body of the HTTP message contains the WBXML that is required by the command being communicated in the message. The commands are specified in [MS-ASCMD].
