HCP System Management Help


Object representation with HTTP

With HTTP, HCP represents each object as a URL. The root of the object path in the URL is always rest.

Here’s an example of the URL for an object named wind.jpg in the images directory in a namespace named climate in a tenant named geo in an HCP system with the domain name hcp.example.com:

http://climate.geo.hcp.example.com/rest/images/wind.jpg

Users and applications represent system metadata by using query parameters appended to the URLs. HCP returns system metadata in HTTP response headers.
