Since it's an HTTP server, I'd guess anything that you'd devise that uses the 
protocol and requests a file would work.  You might imagine a local process that 
has access to the file store which the server serves from, making requests for 
files and checking what it receives against what it sees in the directory perhaps.

Depends on how you start it.  If it's Administrable, then you could wire that up 
to work, or use what is already in place if DestroyAdmin is implemented by the 
object Administrable.getAdmin() returns.
