+N. B: this is not an example of building proper REST API or building secure web application.
+It's only purpose is to illustrate conversion of Osmocom's Control Interface to web-friendly API.
+Exposing this to Internet while connected to production network might lead to all sorts of mischief and mayhem
+from NSA' TAO breaking into your network to zombie apocalypse. Do NOT do that.

+The interface is represented as string because it might look different for IPv4 vs v6.
