I need some help with making a REST POST call from my Photon to a web server. The web server requires basic authentication, and the payload of the REST call has to be application/xml.
Does anyone have any example code I could look at to work out the syntax for my REST request?
REST simply refers to how an API is designed, the actual POST request you are making are a subset of this, and being REST(ful) does not directly say anything about the syntax other than the URL.
Note that normally you dont send repeating POST requests, you send PUT to update an existing item.
Basic auth is a header, and if you need to set the content-type, thats a header too.
The link @LukeUSMC shared contains some information on their syntax.
