Each MMG must register with the middleware to enable participation in the course-wide mosaic generation. To register, send PUT /addMMG to the shared middleware with the following three required form variables:
name, the name of your mosaic microservice generatorurl, the callback url for your mosaic microservice generatorauthor, your name/netid
A POST request will be sent to the {url} specified in the registration. The {url} will be appended with a query string to include the two global parameters:
tilesAcross, andrenderedTileSize
Additionally, the base image will be sent as the file image.
(Refer to Week #2 for details on how these are used in your mosaic generation.)
Initialize the mosaic creation process.
