New RestAPI Endpoints & Mission Lua Command

[pschilly]

Two new RestAPI endpoints:

Mission Control

[POST] /mission/upload

Uploads a new mission to the provided server & adds it to the list to load. Allows for a flag to load after to immediately load the mission or not.

Must provide:

• server_name
• file (the actual file upload)
• filename (the name of the miz, including extension)
• load_after [bool: true | false] allows you to make it load the mission immediately after upload or not

Mission

[GET] /mission/group/waypoints

Returns an array of the waypoints for a group

You must provide: server_name, group_name, group_type so that DCS lua can efficiently search for the group.
Without providing the group type [plane, helicopter, vehicle, ship, static] it would have to search through all the tables which can be significantly less efficient.

The return, upon success:

{
  "group_name": "Red Border",
  "group_type": "helicopter",
  "waypoints": {
    "wp1": {
      "lon": 41.630362633071,
      "lat": 36.622040335212
    },
    "wp2": {
      "lon": 40.012375721709,
      "lat": 36.636857793348
    },
    "wp3": {
      "lon": 38.512230071799,
      "lat": 36.586548739589
    }
  }
}

In the event you provide the wrong group type, the error return is - Error 404:

{
  "detail": "Group 'Red Border' was not found under the 'plane' category."
}

Will require a restart of the server - as the commands.lua must be updated with the new API hook
