3.8.5.1.1 POST

The URL specified by the client in the HTTP request line of the POST request identifies the action point targeted for the client. The server can have multiple action points and different action points can have different access permissions associated with them. For example, some action points require HTTP access authentication (as specified in [RFC2616] section 11). Or, action points can also allow only clients that connect from a specific IP address.

The syntax of the GetDscAction request is defined as follows.

            
DSC-GetDscAction-Request  =  DSC-GetDscAction-Req-Line DSC-GetDscActionSetReq-Headers DSC-GetDscActionReq-Body
  
 DSC-GetDscAction-Req-Line   = "POST" SP Request-URI SP HTTP-Version CRLF

 DSC-GetDscActionRequest-URI-End = "Nodes(AgentId=" SQUOTE AGENTID SQUOTE RBRACKET FSLASH "GetDscAction"
 SQUOTE = %x27  ;  ' (Single Quote)
 RBRACKET = %x29 ; ) (Closing Bracket)
 FSLASH = %x2F ; / (Forward Slash)
 AGENTID = UUID ; as specified in [RFC4122] 
            
            
 DSC-GetDscActionSetReq-Headers = *( DSC-GetDscActionSetReq-Header-REQ
      / DSC-GetDscActionSetReq-Header-OPT ) 
            
 DSC-GetDscActionSetReq-Header-REQ    = Host    ; section 14.23 of [RFC2616] 
           / Accept ; section 14.1 of [RFC2616]

 DSC-GetDscActionReq-Body = ActionRequest ; section 3.8.5.1.1.1

The syntax of the GetDscAction response is defined as follows:

            
 DSC-GetDscAction-Response  = Status-Line DSC-GetDscActionResp-Headers DSC-GetDscActionResp-Body
            
 DSC-GetDscActionResp-Headers = *( DSC-GetDscActionResp-Header-REQ
                            / DSC-GetDscActionResp-Header-OPT)
            
 DSC-GetDscActionResp-Header-REQ  =  Content-Length ; section 14.13 of [RFC2616] 
        / Content-Type ; section 2.2.2.1.2
