What is Windows 10 IoT?

Source: Windows Blog (http://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2015/03/18/windows-10-iot-powering-the-internet-of-things/) Windows 10 IoT will power a range of intelligent, connected IoT devices. From small devices like gateways, to mobile point- of- sale to powerful industry devices like robotics and specialty medical devices, Windows 10 IoT offers a converged platform for devices with enterprise-grade security from the device to the cloud, and native connectivity for machine-to-machine and machine-to-cloud scenarios with Azure IoT Services.

Why this module?

I've WinIoT running on my RaspberryPi 2 and at this moment there are no invoke-restmethod or invoke-webrequest cmdlets available on WinIoT. The only way I found to send HTTP requests and receive HTTP responses is using the HttpClient .Net Class (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.http.httpclient(v=vs.118).aspx) The first function in this PowerShell module should emulate the invoke-webrequest cmdlet from the Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility module.

How to install and use module on RaspberryPi 2 WinIoT Device?

1. Open PowerShell on development machine.
2. Setup PowerShell remoting session with RaspberryPi 2 device

$session = new-pssession -ComputerName 192.168.1.50 -Credential administrator
Copy-Item -ToSession $session -Path .\PSWinIoT.psm1 -Destination c:\
Copy-Item -ToSession $session -Path .\PSWinIoT.psd1 -Destination c:\

3. Start interactive PowerShell Remoting session with RaspberryPi 2 device.

Enter-PsSession -computername 192.168.1.50 -Credential administrator
Import-Module c:\PSWinIoT.psd1 -verbose
Invoke-WinIoTWebRequest -uri 'http://date.jsontest.com'
