REST API for Managing Application Caches

Use cURL

cURL is an open source, command-line tool for transferring data with URL syntax. To connect securely to the server, you must install a version of cURL that supports SSL.

Invoke cURL and specify one or more of the command-line options defined in the following table, as required, to direct its execution.

cURL Option	Description
`-d, --data @file.json`	Identifies the request document, in JSON format, on the local machine.
`-F, --form @file.json`	Identifies form data, in JSON format, on the local machine. Also passes parameters for creating or updating a cache.
`-H`	Defines one or all of the following: Content type of the request document Custom header, `X-ID-TENANT-NAME`, to identify the identity domain The `Authorization` header with the user name and password for the account, for example, `Authorization:joe@example.com:myPassword`.
`-i`	Displays response header information.
`-o path`	Identifies the response output on the local machine. Use this option to save the output to a file.
`-u, --user username:password`	Specifies the user name and password for the account as an alternative to the `Authorization` header.
`-X`	Indicates the type of request (for example, GET, POST, and so on). The default is GET.

The following example shows how to view the details of a cache by submitting a GET request on the REST resource using cURL:

curl -i -X GET -u joe@example.com:joePassword \
 -H "X-ID-TENANT-NAME:ExampleIdentityDomain" \
