Extending Clueless to be monitored and used by automated logic

It'd be excellent if the features of clueless had a (preferably RESTful) API.

I'd like to be able to write code to monitor my line activity and do stuff like automatically switch to a 3dB profile when my transfer rate spikes, then drop back to a lower-rate but more stable profile when demand is low. Or switch to Annex M during periods of high upstream usage. Or consume my transfer data and react accordingly.

Possible Solution: An API
A RESTful API would be perfect. Authentication could be by a shared, lengthy, randomly-generated key ('API key' in common terms) or through something like OAuth.

provide an API equivalient to the user controls on clueless

This would allow customers to hook into the A&A reporting / control functions from their internal management systems.

See: http://aa.net.uk/support-chaos.html And please do email in with features you would like to be added. I'll don't think your specific request is in the API yet, but do contact us about it. (I'll close this idea for now though)

We do have ideas to have an XML interface into clueless, this is a longer term project, but will cover ordering for resellers, fault diagnostic etc...
