Class Admin

Common --+
         |
        Admin

Handles the /admin requests.

The /admin folder contains the following elements for the administration of the server:

/admin/list : display the list of currently loaded packages
/admin/load : load a new package
/admin/save/alias : save a package
/admin/delete/alias : remove a loaded package
/admin/status : display current status
/admin/display : display or set the default webserver display mode
/admin/halt : halt the webserver

Accessing the /admin folder itself displays the summary (equivalent to the root document).

Loading, saving or deleting packages is done by specifying the alias parameter. In the case of the /admin/load action, the uri parameter must provide the appropriate URI.

Setting the display mode

Accessing the /admin/display element updates the server display mode. The data should be available as a parameter named mode, which is either default or raw, or as last element in the URI, for instance /admin/display/navigation
