Hi Craig,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm looking to post requests to a server that configures properties of that
server after standing it up. So, I would envision sending requests from
puppet master in this case to one server.
It would happen likely after a bunch of other installations occurred first
(that's standard RPM deployment). So it's:
1) Install a bunch of software on numerous machines including server
process on a specific machine. (simplified, there's more config I have to
do here)
2) Start up the master server.
3) Configure the master server via REST API Posts. I mainly need to check
the replies for return status I think. Don't need to process the requests
too much.
Does that make sense? I probably have to build some custom plugins or
something to do this right? I was thinking about "exec" calls to curl or
something, but that seems a little kludgy.
Thanks for any advice, it's much appreciated!
Rob
