        <title>Calling a Zend_Rest_Server Service</title>

        <para>
            To call a <classname>Zend_Rest_Server</classname> service, you must supply a
            <constant>GET</constant>/POST <code>method</code> argument with a value that is the
            method you wish to call. You can then follow that up with any number
            of arguments using either the name of the argument (i.e. "who") or
            using <code>arg</code> following by the numeric position of the
            argument (i.e. "arg1").
        </para>

        <note>
            <title>Numeric index</title>

            <para>
                Numeric arguments use a 1-based index.
            </para>
        </note>

        <para>
            To call <code>sayHello</code> from the example above, you can use either:
        </para>

            <code>?method=sayHello&amp;who=Davey&amp;when=Day</code>
        </para>
