["Punnoose, Roshan" <pu...@bah-systems.com>]

Is there any documentation on the parameter: httpFrontendHostUrl? I'm
not exactly sure what it is does...

FWIW there is a new release upcomming in the next week or so. If you
move to the nightly now, you may end up have a good starting point.
There were some RPC bugs that have been fixed since the 1.0 release,
as well as some doc updates.
