The manager app does not have an HTML based user interface -- it accepts individual
commands as part of the request uri. For example, to cause a webapp at context path
"/myapp" to be reloaded, you would request:
http://localhost:8080/manager/reload?path=/myapp
The details of what commands are accepted are in the Javadoc comments for the servlet
class (org.apache.catalina.servlets.ManagerServlet).
