Description

While it's not too hard to build a valid request for /save in Python or sh/curl, getting the current file contents is much more difficult. It seems the only way to download it is via server-side events. I started trying to write a "raw" handler, but I've never done Go before.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing /save request and the server-side-events path used to retrieve current file contents. Define the raw GET and PUT behavior for config files, then verify that automated clients can read and update them without relying on server-side events.
