Instruction Request to the Server (Windows CE 5.0)
The target device receives and parses the server response. The package list from the server is compared to the internal database of packages, and the target device computes all the packages that it needs to have to conform to the list received. It also removes those packages that it already has that do not conform to the list. The target device then sends an instruction response to the server. There is an instruction request for every package that was identified as necessary after processing the poll response.
The instruction request is a standard HTTP POST operation for the specified package ID.
