(...) t i extended our powershell cmdlets with a use weblogin feature. Fiddler and a bit of research in the web provided the right approach quite fast.

(...) Hi all! I am wondering if there is a way to filter a view with Webcon REST API . So instead of getting all view rows on my client and filtering the result with C# and LINQ, there should be a better option than that. ODATA does not seem to be implemented yet. Maybe I overlooked something or is it planned to add ODATA or some other filtering options to REST API ? Thanks a lot in advance & (...)
