The msg payload of the REST interaction with pfcon is:

get

pfurl calling syntax

Assuming satisfied preconditions, let's get some data in the internal tree dictionary of the process

pfurl   --verb POST                             \
        --raw                                   \
        --http ${HOST_IP}:4055/api/v1/cmd       \
        --jsonwrapper 'payload'                 \
        --msg '{  
            "action": "internalctl",
            "meta": {
                "var":     "/service",
                "get":      "value"
            }
        }'

set

pfurl calling syntax

Assuming satisfied preconditions, we can set an entire dictionary of values

pfurl   --verb POST                             \
        --raw                                   \
        --http ${HOST_IP}:4055/api/v1/cmd       \
        --jsonwrapper 'payload'                 \
        --msg '{  
            "action": "internalctl",
            "meta": {
                "var":     "/service,
                "set":     {
                     "test2": {
                                "IP": "192.168.1.2",
                                "aetitle": "aetitle",
                                "callaetitle": "callaetitle",
                                "port": "104"
                     }
                }          
            }
}'
