2.2.2 RDS Transport Method Invocation

The RDS Transport Protocol specifies syntax and encoding for method calls over HTTP requests. It defines how methods can be located and how the parameters are constructed for the HTTP requests.

The security and authentication provisions are determined by the transport security of HTTP and HTTPS. Implementation-specific authentication such as the user name and password can also be specified in the parameters of the request messages of the RDS Transport Protocol. The RDS Transport Protocol has no additional security or authentication capabilities.
