Response example

Implement the Post request on the login resource : http://localhost:8090/iserver/services/security/login.rjson

{

    "username": "user1",

    "password": "user1",

    "rememberme": "true"

}

The response result in rjson format returned is as follows:

{

    "succeed": true,

    "referer": "/iserver/manager"

}

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 login resource exists, or if the login resource can be accessed by clients. It can also determine if the login resource supports an output format <format> if performed on a URI with .<format> included.
