[server] Implement a REST version of the server #138

AFAIK, the websocket we currently use is only necessary to allow the server to push actions to the client. In a plain read-only data viewing application, this may not be necessary. We should consider creating a simpler, REST-based version of the server for such cases in order to get rid of the scaleability problem a websocket imposes.
