IMPORTANT NOTE: THE BEHAVIOR BELOW IS DEPRECATED
In order to communicate with the Holiday Web Service via REST, the url of the web method must be according to these guidelines.
The base url for the REST controller (on the test server) is [https://www.test.hawaii.edu/its/ws/holiday/rest]
...
The name of the method is followed by a '?' and then the parameters separated by '&'.
Ex. https://www.test.hawaii.edu/its/ws/holiday/rest/closest?date=2012-01-01&isObserved=true
Supported methods:
For all methods that require the full date the format must be yyyy-MM-dd, even if the day or month is a single digit it must be preceded by a 0, Ex. 01, 02, etc.
...
