Retrieving Repository Index

It is supposed that a client knows the Service index URL. For instance, this URL is http://www.example.com/aps/.

To retrieve a Repository index, the client must perform the following steps:

  1. Request the System index by issuing the HTTP GET request to http://www.example.com/aps/.
  2. Parse the index for the following expression: /a[@class='repository']. The href attribute of each such element contains URL of a Repository index. The element content contains the repository name.
  3. Request the required Repository index by issuing the HTTP GET request to a corresponding URL.
