TODO:
 - document REST API (mention rq IDs and endpoint information, list endpoints+args+CRUD type, unknown values are empty fields)
 - use a slightly more descriptive success/error definition (e.g. errortype=system/missing-arg/generic)
 - how to handle requests which need a restart of uhttpd? (e.g. network/openap)
 - a plain GET request (no ajax/script) runs the risk of timing out on lengthy operations: implement polling in API to get progress updates?
   (this would require those operations to run in a separate daemon process which can be monitored by the CGI handler) 
 - protect dump function against reference loops (see: http://lua-users.org/wiki/TableSerialization, json also handles this well)
 - (this is an old todo item from network:available(), might still be relevant at some point)
   extend reconf interface to support function arguments (as tables) so wifihelper functionality can be integrated
   but how? idea: pass x_args={arg1="a",arg2="2342"} for component 'x'
   or: allow alternative for x="y" --> x={action="y", arg1="a", arg2="2342"}
   in any case, arguments should be put in a new table to pass to the function (since order is undefined it must be an assoc array)

NOTES:
 - using iwinfo with interface name 'radio0' yields very little 'info' output while wlan0 works fine
 - The endpoint function info in response objects is incorrect when the global function is called with a blank argument,
   to cleanly solve this, module/function resolution should be moved from main() to the request object
