// ServeHTTP executes a job as specified by the http request `r`, and sends the
// result as an http response.
// This method allows an Engine instance to be passed as a standard http.Handler interface.
//
// Note that the protocol used in this methid is a convenience wrapper and is not the canonical
// implementation of remote job execution. This is because HTTP/1 does not handle stream multiplexing,
// and so cannot differentiate stdout from stderr. Additionally, headers cannot be added to a response
// once data has been written to the body, which makes it inconvenient to return metadata such
// as the exit status.

// FIXME: distinguish job status from engine error in Run()
// The former should be passed as a special header, the former
// should cause a 500 status
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
// The exit status cannot be sent reliably with HTTP1, because headers
// can only be sent before the body.
// (we could possibly use http footers via chunked encoding, but I couldn't find
// how to use them in net/http)
