Cause: 

     When executing these REST operations from browser, browser sets the method as GET and submit the request. But these operations (Deploy/Start/Stop/Redeploy) expects method name as POST. Due to this REST service has not invoked properly and giving an error response.

Resolution:

   Install Rest client plug-in in your browser,like Postman REST client plugin for Chrome browser and pass mar file to it during deployMar and select method type as "POST" and submit the request to deploy the service to VSE.

     Postman REST client plugin can be downloaded from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/postman%20rest%20client?hl=en
