# send_aci_action

The `send_aci_action` method sends a query to an ACI server. This method takes the action parameters as a table instead of the full action as a string, as with `send_aci_command`. This avoids issues with parameter values containing an ampersand (&).

## Syntax

    send_aci_action( host, port, action [, parameters] [, timeout] [, retries] [, sslParameters] )

## Arguments

Argument | Description
--- | ---
`host` | (string) The ACI host to send the query to.
`port` | (number) The port to send the query to.
`action` | (string) The action to perform (for example, `query`).
`parameters` | (table) A Lua table containing the action parameters, for example, { param1="value1", param2="value2" }
`timeout` | (number) The number of milliseconds to wait before timing out. The default is 3000.
`retries` | (number) The number of times to retry if the request fails. The default is 3.
`sslParameters` | (table) A Lua table containing the SSL settings.

## Returns

(String). Returns the XML response as a string. If required, you can call `parse_xml` on the string to return a `LuaXmlDocument`. If the request fails, it returns nil.

## Example

    send_aci_action( "localhost", 9000, "query" ,
    			{text = "*", print = "all"} );
