Hello! I'd implemented this REST API, and I can surely say, that it's possible to do everything via REST. There are some drawbacks though: you post remote command, and it is your responsibility to poll the status of execution. For example, if you post inject command, then you need to poll REST API until this command will be finished, if your business logic requires sequential command execution. What about files, nutch server automatically creates them in temp directory. If java code is not problem for you, you can explore webui.patch in this issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-841, otherwise I can sniff http traffic between UI and nutch-server for you.
