This is much better news. A more fully featured web API would be really useful, as it would allow me to control MinimServer from the tablet where the control point resides.

The web API is not an interactive web page. The term "API" is an abbreviation for Application Programming Interface and a web API enables programmatic control of a server such as MinimServer using a web protocol such as HTTP (see this page).

Quote:Curl (which I was not previously aware of) looks interesting. I've had a quick look at the manual, and it is easy to see how a command to open the web interface would work. It's less easy to see how the rescan would be invoked, but as that would also depend on the design of the web interface, it's probably best to put that question to one side for now.

You would use curl to send an HTTP POST request to MinimServer (running on a different machine) to invoke an operation via the web API.
