Create an API for web apps

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The browserscope DB is a great resource for web app developers who are looking 
to use max connections network data to limit outgoing connections.

It would be useful to either have:

- A web API which returns the max connections and max connections per host for 
the requesting UA.

- An XML rendering of the DB for compile-time acquisition of all UA max 
connection data.

Though not mentioned explicitly, you can do this to get JSON. There's also a 
csv output.
http://www.browserscope.org/?category=network&o=json

Getting the individual test_keys only would be pretty easily doable, but I 
think just asking for an entire category works.

You can also make use of the ua= param and do queries like this:
http://www.browserscope.org/?category=network&o=csv&ua=Chrome%206*

If this is sufficient, perhaps I just need to document this behavior and then 
I'll close this bug.
