Change Details

As discussed in the parent RFC, we want to move the code that executes posted job from a tacky /rpc/RunSingleJob.php script located in mediawiki-config repo to a REST endpoint. The RFC suggests a special page as a solution, but it was proposed before MW core had REST capabilities, and really a REST endpoint is what we need. The endpoint will be protected from arbitrary code execution by signing events with MW secret key and verifying the signature.
