Provide way to access jmeter-server via HTTP calls (ReSTfull if possible)

[asfimport]

Arthur Lutz (Bug 58290):
From what I understand of the documentation, the only way so far of runnning a job on a jmeter-server is to use the jmeter GUI or via some java code (RMI). It would be awesome to be able to access the jmeter-server via some HTTP calls.

This would open up a great number of scenarios with the backing power of jmeter.

If any projects like this exit, please point me in the right direction. If this could be directly in jmeter-server it would be great.
