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!
