bah, i don't think there is any sense in disabling the http api, only the socket api, which is much more retarded... doing the configuration through the socket api is gonna mean writing yet another fucking shit lol
no... the http api is mandatory, i'm using it at minimum also for managing the configuration, because this means there is a simple interface i can use already to do this, and not have to have five billion shits in the configuration system that can't be dynamically changed
part of the whole point of making the http api is to make it easier to manage... later i could put an actual more advanced web interface front end on it, or write a custom CLI to do all these things, and the interface is really simple and i have all the pieces to enable it
