Issue 140: REST Remote Runner
Project Member Reported by virtix, Nov 11, 2008
Thinking out load here ... 

We've been running tests remotely since day 1. What about specifying an 
interface based on REST? So, instead of dealing with SOAP calls, you could 
make an http request that returns a feed or json object. It seems like REST 
is being widely adopted as a remote protocol. This, of course would be for 
2.0 ...

the one complicator here would be the debug array, since it can contain all manner of
weirdness. if that could be sorted out, and maybe that's just a matter of wrapping it
all in pcdata if it were xml or escaping all the junk if it were json, then that
would probably work out nicely.

other than the "cool" factor, what's the driver?

Yeah, I'm not sure how complex data would work. I just have this gut feeling that
remote control of test may be of benefit. Of course, if I don't write any of this
down, I will likely forget it. Better to remember /all/ the ideas then to forget
about the good ones.

I would somehow like to run tests against remote objects, without having the full
mxunit installed on the remote server. Maybe just need some kind of remotefacade. Not
sure how it could be done ...
