HDF_REST_Server

HDF REST server is a Python-based web service that can be used to send and receive HDF5 data using an HTTP-based REST interface.

Server running at:

http://data.hdfgroup.org:7253

Basic information about the data collection "tall" (originally from the file tall.h5):

http://tall.data.hdfgroup.org:7253
