Hello,  I would like to spend a few words about my patch.

The use case that I've addressed is allowing someone in the mesh network
to fetch the topology via browser in javascript and do any kind of
computations on that data.


I'm not sure that sending the patch in the ML is the way you prefer for
handling patches so you can find it also on my repository [1].


I've also made a sample application, completely running into the browser
for showing what we can do with this kind of patch; it's called MapO [2]
(source available here [3]).
Of course you need to point it to a reacheable node running the patched
plugin with the "httpheaders" params set to "yes".
