This PR is just to keep track of / allow attaching documentation to a branch I created a few weeks back to experiment with moving some user management into our own database tables, seeing how simple authentication could be for our use case, and testing this out with some very general purpose authenticated database access endpoints. Obviously all of this would have to be done over HTTPS not HTTP, some things should be in headers or request bodies rather than query parameters, etc. but it does seem to represent a viable approach.
I wouldn't really want to use a Java keystore to set up HTTPS - at this point we'd prefer to work with more common files and have identified some code/libraries to do this programmatically. But the Spark framework HTTPS setup doesn't seem to allow supplying a programmatically constructed keystore instance, only a filename for one on disk. So doing this whole thing cleanly implies migrating the HTTP API over to run directly on Jetty, or on something like Undertow, rather than Spark (which we've long been considering removing).
