Rest API To Initiate Server Automation Plan

Good day Paul! We spoke at Dillard’s about Server Automation and I’m glad to see you’re here to help.

So from what I’ve gathered and tried, I’ve deployed Rest API (Task ID 108) to a Windows system but I am not sure how this plays in to the process. This machine we’ll call WINDOWS1. The BESServer we’ll call BES1

From my experience with playing with the API and what I parsed in the provided link, I tried to GET the Automation Plan via the following URL

https://BES1.dillards.com:52311/api/serverautomation/plan/custom/rhel/11629
unknown request method

So, my question now would be how does the Windows machine play into the picture for trying to use the API to evoke this plan against a machine and what do I need to fix in my REST call?

From the link referencing the Plan calls
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Endpoint%20Manager/page/Plan
it appears the Post method is along the lines of what I want to achieve, but I am not quite sure from where to initiate and how to best populate the correct information.
