This sounds like an interesting project!

I gather that a POST request must be made to
/api/vmpools/SOMEVMPOOLID/allocatevm

with a certain content, certain headers, etc. However, I cannot craft a
successful POST "manually".

I guess I'm missing some crucial information which must be supplied in the
documentation?

Thanks!
