-REST Backend
-============
-
-Restic can interact with HTTP Backend that respects the following REST API. The
-following values are valid for `{type}`: `data`, `keys`, `locks`, `snapshots`,
-`index`, `config`. `{path}` is a path to the repository, so that multiple
-different repositories can be accessed. The default path is `/`.
-
-## HEAD {path}/config
-
-Returns "200 OK" if the repository has a configuration,
-an HTTP error otherwise.
-
-## GET {path}/config
-
-Returns the content of the configuration file if the repository has a configuration,
-an HTTP error otherwise.
-
-Response format: binary/octet-stream
-
-## POST {path}/config
-
-Returns "200 OK" if the configuration of the request body has been saved,
-an HTTP error otherwise.
-
-## GET {path}/{type}/
-
-Returns a JSON array containing the names of all the blobs stored for a given type.
-
-Response format: JSON
-
-## HEAD {path}/{type}/{name}
-
-Returns "200 OK" if the blob with the given name and type is stored in the repository,
-"404 not found" otherwise. If the blob exists, the HTTP header `Content-Length`
-is set to the file size.
-
-## GET {path}/{type}/{name}
-
-Returns the content of the blob with the given name and type if it is stored in the repository,
-"404 not found" otherwise.
-
-If the request specifies a partial read with a Range header field,
-then the status code of the response is 206 instead of 200
-and the response only contains the specified range.
-
-Response format: binary/octet-stream
-
-## POST {path}/{type}/{name}
-
-Saves the content of the request body as a blob with the given name and type,
-an HTTP error otherwise.
-
-Request format: binary/octet-stream
-
-## DELETE {path}/{type}/{name}
-
-Returns "200 OK" if the blob with the given name and type has been deleted from the repository,
-an HTTP error otherwise.
