+# Raw Web Action Test for OpenWhisk NodeJS Runtime using Knative
+
+## Running the test using the `curl` command
+
+Depending on the value you set in [buildtemplate.yaml](../../buildtemplate.yaml) for the ```OW_RUNTIME_PLATFORM``` parameter, you will need to invoke different endpoints to execute the test.
+
+### Running with OW_RUNTIME_PLATFORM set to "knative"
+
+#### Invoke / endpoint on the Service
+
+```
+curl -H "Host: nodejs-web-action-raw.default.example.com" -X POST http://localhost/
+{
+   "response":{
+      "__ow_body":"eyJuYW1lIjoiSm9lIn0=",
+      "__ow_query":{
+      },
+      "__ow_user":"",
+      "__ow_method":"POST",
+      "__ow_headers":{
+         "host":"localhost",
+         "user-agent":"curl/7.54.0",
+         "accept":"*/*",
+         "content-type":"application/json",
+         "content-length":"394"
+      },
+      "__ow_path":""
+   }
+}
+```
+
+### Running with OW_RUNTIME_PLATFORM set to "openwhisk"
+
+#### Initialize the runtime
+
+Initialize the runtime with the function and other configuration data using the ```/init``` endpoint.
+
+```
+curl -H "Host: nodejs-web-aciton-raw.default.example.com" -d "@data-init.json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost/init
+
+{"OK":true}
+```
+
+#### Run the function
+
+Execute the function using the ```/run``` endpoint.
+
+```
+curl -H "Host: nodejs-web-action-raw.default.example.com" -d "@data-run.json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost/run
+{
+   "response":{
+      "name":"Joe"
+   }
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: OpenWhisk controller plays an important role in handling web actions and that's why lacking `__ow_*` parameters from the response.
