Domains

In h5serv, domains are containers for related collection of resources, similar to a file in the traditional HDF5 library. Other than PUT Domain, every operation of the service explicitly includes the domain resource in the Host line of the http request.

If the included DNS server is set up (see DNS Setup (optional)), the domain name can also be used as the endpoint of the request.

Note: Currently h5serv does not include any functions for listing or querying which domains are available.

Creating Domains

Use PUT Domain to create a domain. The domain name must follow DNS conventions (e.g. two consecutive “dots” are not allowed). After creation, the domain will contain just one resource, the root group.

Use GET Domain to get information about a domain, including the UUID of the domain’s root group.

Deleting Domains

Use DELETE Domain to delete a domain. All resources within the domain will be deleted!
