Preview: http://dg1.dtrt.org/en/developer-reference#http-rest

This adds documentation for the new REST API in Bitcoin Core 0.10.0. It uses the same formating we use for the JSON-RPC documentation with the section headings formatting based on Twitter's REST docs. (As this is the first REST docs I've written, I looked for examples and liked theirs the most.)

Feedback on content or formatting appreciated.

CC: @jlopp (requested docs in issue #715), @jonasschnelli (did a lot of work on the REST interface)

* Uses same basic format as JSON-RPC documentation.

Closes bitcoin-dot-org#715

Nice work!

  • Would it make sense to mention that -txindex needs a -reindex=1? Because from time to time there are question like this: getrawtransaction fails bitcoin/bitcoin#5667.
  • Maybe it would be good to tell the users once again that they should NOT allow public access to the bitcoind http/rest server

ACK.
