The REST purist in me would advise against GET requests for executing actions. Not sure how I&#x27;d design the actionable namespace though; not a lot of experience there I&#x27;m afraid. But perhaps a POST of &quot;cmd=stop&quot; to &quot;hxxp:&#x2F;&#x2F;$host:$port&#x2F;docker&#x2F;container&#x2F;$containerId&quot;.
