POST and PUT Input

POST and PUT requests require a body in their HTTP Requests. You can specify the body either as an input file on the command line, such as:

iem POST inputfile.xml operator/bigfix

By running this command you post the file inputfile.xml to the location operator/bigfix and update the operator bigfix with the information provided in the inputfile.xml file or, you can enter it manually when prompted (if no input file is specified on the command line, the utility prompts for input:

iem POST query
Input: relevance=now

The input must be of the format expected by the specified RESTAPI resource, the CLI does not do any pre-parsing or sanity checking.
