REST server

Mailman is controllable through an administrative REST HTTP server.

>>> from mailman.testing import helpers
>>> master = helpers.TestableMaster(helpers.wait_for_webservice)
>>> master.start('rest')

The RESTful server can be used to access basic version information.

>>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/system')
http_etag: "..."
mailman_version: GNU Mailman 3.0... (...)
python_version: ...
self_link: http://localhost:9001/3.0/system/versions

Clean up

>>> master.stop()
