[wildfly-dev] HTTP API support for plain JBoss-CLI commands

[Heiko Braun]

You can already use DMR over HTTP. It requires a different content-type ('application/dmr-encoded') and uses a base64 encoded representation of the payload ('ModelNode.toBase64String()'). 

You can describe an operation through the DMR API and then simply do HTTP POST to ‘/management’ endpoint. make sure to use 'application/dmr-encoded’ for both 'Content-Type' and ‘Accept’ headers. 

The response can be parse using 'ModelNode.fromBase64()'.

Hope this helps,
Heiko
