The REST protocol is a simple HTTP-based protocol that enables you to contact the message broker through a Web browser. You can contact the message broker by navigating to appropriately formatted URLs or by posting HTML forms.
The FUSE Message Broker’s REST protocol is based on a subset of the HTTP protocol. Hence, HTTP is the only supported transport.
REST supports the following client types:
Web forms—use conventional HTML forms to POST a message to a destination (queue or topic) or to GET a message from a destination—see Example of posting a message
.
Ajax clients—an Asynchronous JavaScript And Xml (Ajax) library that enables you to communicate with a REST endpoint using JavaScript in a DHTML Web page. For details of how to program an Ajax client, see the Cross Language Client Development Guide.
