The WebIssues request is a multipart/form-data message [RFC 2388] containing the following fields:

command

required field containing the command to be executed

file

optional field containing the uploaded file

The WebIssues server response is either a text/plain message containing the result of the command execution or an application/octet-stream message containing the downloaded file.

The WebIssues client must correctly handle the Set-Cookie and Cookie headers as described in [RFC 2109]. The name of the WebIssues session cookie is WebIssuesSID.
