Script support about amazon-echo-ha-bridge HOT 5 CLOSED

RESTful interface requires you to POST or PUT instead of a GET

It would be nice if we could have the option to provide the HTTP method for the URL.

I too have some of my own custom software that I have amazon-echo-ha-bridge pointing at and had to make my URL endpoints GETs. I'm not very comfortable with this, as GET urls are easy to hit and these URLs are pointing at potentially important things. I'd prefer they be POSTs or PUTs. If anything, it's more compliant with a REST system.

If anything, it'd be nice the default was POST.

I agree. I was initially worried/lazy about the difficulty of creating
templates for the post/put body nor had any use case that required a
different http method . Should be an easy add. Should be in the next
release this week.

{
"name": "test device",
"deviceType": "switch",
"offUrl": "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=json&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=0&DeviceNum=31",
"onUrl": "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=json&DeviceNum=31&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1&action=SetLoadLevelTarget&newLoadlevelTarget=${intensity.percent}",

note the escape of quotes in the content body. currently no validation of the content type, invalid content types WILL explode!
