 While it is possible to directly send HTTP requests, it is recommended to create a wrapper, similar to the Python wrapper mentioned before.
 Otherwise, many of the more complex operations (e.g., process enactment) will quickly result in problems.
 Now follows a detailed description of how the HTTP interface works.
+An explanation of the semantics of these operations can be found in the Python wrapper.
 An example implementation can be found in the Python wrapper, which should prove a valuable starting point for creating a new interface.

 Since the Modelverse has no primitive notion of dictionaries, a dictionary is expanded as a sequence of key value pairs, terminated with an empty key.
