JSON Wire Protocol

deprecated

The JSONWireProtocol is deprecated and replaced by the WebDriver protocol.


status

Query the server's current status. The server should respond with a general "HTTP 200 OK" response if it is alive and accepting commands. The response body should be a JSON object describing the state of the server. All server implementations should return two basic objects describing the server's current platform and when the server was built. All fields are optional; if omitted, the client should assume the value is unknown. Furthermore, server implementations may include additional fields not listed here.
