What is the XML schema and URL format used for custom callbacks?

GET

The variables $REV, $PROJ, and $BRANCH may be used in the URL and will be replaced by the revision or commit id, the project abbreviation, and the name of the branch (Git and Hg only), respectively. For example:

GET https://myserver.com/ci/notify_commit?rev=$REV&proj=$PROJ&branch=$BRANCH
