There is a ridiculously simple ‘status’ handler on XMLRPC right now. We need a similar handler for retrieving status information from our daemons, but it needs to be independent of XMLRPC.

Instead, it should use the Indirector, and it should be able to communicate over REST.

Ideally, we’d provide lots of useful statistical information via this handler, but I don’t know exactly how we’d do that. I’d recommend that the handler return an encoded hash to start, even if the hash is empty (or maybe it could just be something like ‘{:is_on_fire => false}’).
