I am a newbie trying to add some command support using Web services. I have setup the ABB robot studio and able to move the controller using virtual pendant. I have enabled the RobotWebServices in the communication firewall section too. Now i want to use POSTMAN application to test web service command. For testing, i am trying to get the state of the virtual controller by [http://127.0.0.1/rw/system?resource=state](http://127.0.0.1/rw/system?resource=state) But i get HTTP error 404. How do i resolve the communication issue between Postman and Virtual controller. Is there any manual, on how to setup a ABB robot studio as virutal simulation and test with Robot web service using POSTMAN. ---
