GET only deleting object-reference, not actual object #17

Description

@StianOvrevage

I'm using restmq as intermediate queue feeding it data from collectd and then popping and formating data and sending to OpenTSDB.

The docs say that a GET on the /q/<queue> route will return and dequeue the object. I see from the raw network traffic that restmq does RPOP on collectd_data:queue and hence removes the reference to the object. It does not however remove the actual object which will live on in memory forever.

I see in the source that the JSON interface has a take command which should GET and DEL the actual object. But I'm only getting 400 errors on the /queue route.
The docs say that the route is /queue/<queue_name>, which is incorrect. The route is /queue and the queue_name should be supplied in the JSON data.

I use this command to try to get the JSON interface to work without success:

curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"cmd": "take","queue": "collectd_data"}' http://localhost:8888/queue
