AJAX API coming soon for this ;)

I can provide all that via the Uploads database. I haven't written
anything to grab it yet, but I should be able to add it to the AJAX API
as above.

Incidentally although I call it the AJAX API, my intention is to provide
a basic text string if it's not going to a web page.

If you mean that HTTP is unavailable then you're kind of stuck. In this
situation I would suspect that the SMTP mechanism would be unavailable
as well, so writing the reports to a file would be the best option. In
this situation I would suggest that you run the tests and allow the
tester to decided afterwards whether a report should be sent.
