Post Get Query Syntax

A page to discuss the syntax and behaviors of Post/Get queries.

Questions:

• Is there an accepted practice?
• Are they symmetrical; i.e. can a the same specification style work for both? In a post, data would be included; for a get, data would be returned.
• What are the specifiers?
• site identifier
• instrument identifier
• parameter name
• units
• time or time range
• What granularity is appropriate? Should a single post should be able to supply multiple parameters or multiple times, or both?

At least for the AHM, we may be able to get by with the default rails syntax, which looks like:

Or Mike may have already modified that, during the ingest development.
