             Summary: (protototype) Registry REST API to serve up 302 redirects to service endpoints
                 Key: SLIDER-738
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLIDER-738
             Project: Slider
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: registry, Web & REST
    Affects Versions: Slider 0.60
            Reporter: Steve Loughran
            Assignee: Steve Loughran


extend the REST view of the registry so that you can ask for a specific api of a service endpoint, and optionally for the response to be a 302 to the chosen destination.

e.g.
{code}
GET services/org.apache.slider/app1/?api=http://org.apache.slider/registry&format=redirect
{code}

this would look up the API, 404 if not there, and that provided the address format is a URI, return a (random) choice of one of the listed instances as a 302 redirect.

The benefit here is that you can bookmark an entry, or use curl without having to parse the resulting JSON at all -it is all processed server-side
