IOTV protocol

Introduction

IOTV is a simple http/https protocol for processing IOT messages and commands
In the VIALATM service, port 7746 is allocated for the IOTV protocol (for https connection - 7745).

HTTP header

All requests by IOTV protocol should contain "iotv-user"in the request header. If IOTV password is not setup in the user setting, you can omit "iot-password" in the header.

Mandatory attribute

All requests should contain mandatory attribute "root".

Optional attributes

You can add the "time" attribute to the request. It must be set in UNIX STAMP format (the number of seconds from January 1, 1970 GMT + 0). If this attribute is omitted, the event time is set as a time of request processing. All other attributes depend on your IOT object. In response, you get current values of all attributes in an object.
