Sounds like this part of Bitcoin (block sharing) would definitely =
benefit from having a REST (HTTP) API.
REST-based web APIs are a common feature of most online services these =
days. Makes writing other client services so much easier. Plus you get =
the benefit of the HTTP ecosystem for free (HTTP caches, etc).
