REST server
===========

Mailman is controllable through an administrative RESTful 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:8001/3.0/system')
    http_etag: "..."
    mailman_version: GNU Mailman 3.0... (...)
    python_version: ...
    resource_type_link: http://localhost:8001/3.0/#system
    self_link: http://localhost:8001/3.0/system


Clean up

    >>> master.stop()
