To work with data provided by ADODS services, you make HTTP requests, each of which must include three key parts:

• A uniform resource identifier (URI), which addresses the data in question

• An HTTP verb (either GET, POST, MERGE, PUT, or DELETE), which indicates the type of CRUD operation to be performed

• An HTTP Accept header, which indicates the format of the data being sent or received
