Re: IWS - how to specify more than one input parameter

You need to have some sort of delimiter between the variables, something
like:

/{program}/{section}/{user}/{log}

or something like:

/{program}-{section}-{user}-{log}

The way you have it there is no way to determine where program begins and
where section begins, etc.

Then in url,

/program/section/user/log

or

/program-section-user-log

Now whether the URI is appropriate is up to you, based on documentation I
referenced and common practices.

Nadir, yes. I have read that (many times) and done that several times.

The IWS server appears to me to not be handling it correctly. I think
it's a pretty safe bet that the problem is NOT in the IWS server, but in

how I am using it.

It's pretty likely the problem lays with something I am not
understanding. At the moment I suspect it's that i am messing up the
"URI path template" on Step 1 of 7 in the IWS interview?

I have

/{program}{section}{user}{log}

Is that the proper use of the URI path template?

As far as what URIs should look like, see page 36 of IWS server admin

programming guide[1], heading entitled: "REST Primer". It has sections
about URIs and the user of HTTP methods.
