Right. Then it will have to be a POST. I guess this would also need to 
be taken into account when we implement queries over REST.

The intention is to initially provide two types of "task": scripting 
tasks and deployed tasks. The former you all know already whereas the 
latter will be packaged in a JAR and implement some kind of Task 
interface. I'll push a preview PR today with an initial design for these 
interfaces.
