HTTP command syntax
Control of the Networked VGA Grid by HTTP is done by sending commands to one of two URLs and specifying
the target configuration item. Syntax for the get and set commands follows.
Many commands require a channel or recorder index as an argument. A channel's index is found by looking at
the Channels list in the web interface. In the screen capture below, the channel with index 1 is currently
recording (it's index number is red). To address this channel via http commands, use the index channel1.
