Part of 5.0 and used by the GenUIne admin central
ObservedManager that discovers REST endpoints at runtime configured in modules. Done.
About HTTP Methods:
- GET and POST are supported by all browsers, the rest are quirky to say the least
- PUT would be nice for create
- DELETE would be nice for delete
- IPSecurity filter blocks all but GET and POST
- Some frameworks simluate methods using a query param named _method
