Schedule HTTP callouts with a given payload through HTTP

To add a job to the queue:

POST localhost:8080/scheduler/api
{
  "timestamp": 1397733237027,
  "url": "http://localhost:3000",
  "payload": "{\"Hello\":\"world\"}"
}

will schedule a callout POST http://localhost:3000/ with {"Hello": "world"} as the body.

You will receive back a JSON object that has the group::name pair. You will need to hang on to this if you ever intend to cancel the job.

To remove a job from the queue:

DELETE localhost:8080/scheduler/api/group::name

This will remove a previously scheduled job with the unique key of group::name. The JSON returned will show failure if the job cannot be found or it was not possible to cancel it.

HTTP verbs supported

Currently supports Http POST, JSON content and one single date to add to the schedule and DELETE with the group::name on the url to remote a scheduled job.

Testing server

If you use a browser (or use curl with -GET) to navigate to the URL that the scheduler is running on your should receive this type of error:

HTTP ERROR 405 Problem accessing /scheduler/api. Reason: HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL

This is good and what you should expect from a GET. The URL will only support POST, PUT and DELETE.
