Response example

The returned rjson format representation after implementing the GET request on the spatiotemporal resource:

[{

"name": "datasets",

"path": "http://localhost:8090/iserver/services/datacatalog/rest/datacatalog/spatiotemporal/datasets",

"resourceConfigID": "datasets",

"resourceType": null,

"supportedMediaTypes": null

}]

HEAD request

Asks for the response identical to the one that would correspond to a GET request, but without the response body. This is useful for retrieving meta-information written in response headers, without having to transport the entire content. The meta-information includes the media-type, content-encoding, transfer-encoding, content-length, etc.

HEAD request can be used to check if the spatiotemporal resource exists, or if the spatiotemporal resource can be accessed by clients. It can also determine if the spatiotemporal resource supports an output format <format> if performed on a URI with .<format> included.
