Send Actions to IDOL

You query IDOL by sending actions from your Web browser. The general syntax of these actions is:

http://IDOLhost:port/action=action&requiredParams&optionalParams

where,

IDOLhost is the IP address or name of the machine on which IDOL is installed.
port is the ACI port by which actions are sent to IDOL server (set by the Port parameter in the IDOL configuration file [Server] section).
action is the name of the action you want IDOL to run (for example, Query).
requiredParams are the parameters that you must supply for the action you are requesting. (Not all actions have required parameters.)
optionalParams are parameters that you may supply for the action you are requesting. (Not all actions have optional parameters.)

Note: Separate individual parameters with an ampersand (&).
