## Interacting with the server
### `POST`: Creating a new pod
Create a pod using an external WebID for authentication:
```shell
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"login": "timbl", "webId": "http://timbl.inrupt.net/profile/card#me"}' \
http://localhost:3000/pods
```
### `PUT`: Creating resources for a given URL
Create a plain text file:
```shell
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
-d "abc" \
http://localhost:3000/myfile.txt
```
Create a turtle file:
```shell
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: text/turtle" \
-d "<ex:s> <ex:p> <ex:o>." \
http://localhost:3000/myfile.ttl
```
### `POST`: Creating resources at a generated URL
Create a plain text file:
```shell
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
-d "abc" \
http://localhost:3000/
```
Create a turtle file:
```shell
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/turtle" \
-d "<ex:s> <ex:p> <ex:o>." \
http://localhost:3000/
```
The response's `Location` header will contain the URL of the created resource.
### `GET`: Retrieving resources
Retrieve a plain text file:
```shell
curl -H "Accept: text/plain" \
http://localhost:3000/myfile.txt
```
Retrieve a turtle file:
```shell
curl -H "Accept: text/turtle" \
http://localhost:3000/myfile.ttl
```
Retrieve a turtle file in a different serialization:
```shell
curl -H "Accept: application/ld+json" \
http://localhost:3000/myfile.ttl
```
### `DELETE`: Deleting resources
```shell
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:3000/myfile.txt
```
### `PATCH`: Modifying resources
Currently, only patches over RDF resources are supported using [SPARQL Update](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-update/)
queries without `WHERE` clause.
```shell
curl -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-update" \
-d "INSERT DATA { <ex:s2> <ex:p2> <ex:o2> }" \
http://localhost:3000/myfile.ttl
```
### `HEAD`: Retrieve resources headers
```shell
curl -I -H "Accept: text/plain" \
http://localhost:3000/myfile.txt
```
### `OPTIONS`: Retrieve resources communication options
```shell
curl -X OPTIONS -i http://localhost:3000/myfile.txt
```
