It would be great if there was a equivalent for the CLI on an embedded webserver, via (preferably) a JSON API.

Calling http://salt-master:5434/pkg/install/apache2/ would install Apache2, same for the rest of the commands.
I don't think this would be very hard to implement but would greatly help implementation of this in other (remote) systems.

Since the returns are already JSON, returning such data via a web-faced API would be relatively easy.
