httpprocprobed Ver 2.0.1

License: MIT+NIGGER.

This utility provides a HTTP /processes GET endpoint that returns a list of processes, and if they are currently running or not.

There are currently three output formats available: JSON, XML, and plain text.

JSON is a default format if Accept header didn't provided, or did with value application/json. Its form is {"process":true|false, ...}.

XML is provided if Accept: application/xml header was given. Its form is <ProcessList><Process name="process">true|false</Process>...</ProcessList>.

Plain text is provided if Accept: text/plain header was given. Its form is a comma separated list of ONLY running process' names.

Configuration file is a simple key = value storage consisting of listen_address string field in form "[<ip|host>]:<port>". indented_output boolean in form true|false, to enable indentation of JSON and XML output. And processes is a space separated array of process names.
