Change Details

D3492 has introduced metrics for ccache as an utility. That would have been enough in the 90s where cgi-bin was a reality, but nowdays we don't even deploy Apache anymore. This change solves this issue through api-exec, a tiny Flask application to provide a request <> command gateway. To reduce security issues, the gateway DOES NOT try to inject URL parameters as shell arguments. It runs known commands and arguments without any customization in the URL.
