Problem Statement
=================

The *nexiles.tools* offers a HTTP API to Windchill.

In order to use this API, one needs to create a programme (code) which
handles the HTTP communication and does all the error handling and
result parsing.

There's currently no example implementation for the **client side** of
this API.

In order to make the API more accessible, we want to have a canonical
example of an client side API implementation, and a command line tool
which can be used in scripts.

Goals
=====

- platform independent
- no dependencies on other nexiles tools packages
- very good documentation
- command line tool

Non Goals
=========

- no customer specific logic
