# Send Actions to IDOL

IDOL actions are HTTP requests, which you can send, for example, from your web browser. The general syntax of these actions is:

    http://host:port/action=action&parameters

where:

`host` | is the IP address or name of the machine where IDOL is installed.
`port` | is the IDOL ACI port. The ACI port is specified by the `Port` parameter in the `[Server]` section of the IDOL configuration file. For more information about the `Port` parameter, see the IDOL Reference.
`action` | is the name of the action you want to run.
`parameters` | are the required and optional parameters for the action.

NOTE: Separate individual parameters with an ampersand (&). Separate parameter names from values with an equals sign (=). You must percent-encode all parameter values.

For more information about actions, see the IDOL Server Reference.
