We are using this interface to control the xend daemon. With this 
interface, you can do quite everything you can with the xm tool.
For example to destroy a domain, you can do a HTTP POST request on this 
url :
http://xenserver:8000/xend/domain/domain-name
with parameter
op=destroy
To create a domainU, you can do a POST request on this url :
http://xenserver:8000/xend/domain/
with parameter
op=create&config=s-expression
s-expression is the xen configuration format (you can look at it making 
a xm list -l for example)
To list started domains :
http://xenserver:8000/xend/domain/
or
http://xenserver:8000/xend/domain/?detail=1

The http server don't exactly map xm commands however : to boot a new 
server, you have 2 or 3 operations to do when using the http server :
create, wait_for_devices and unpause

The xend HTTP interface is accessible via a TCP socket or via an Unix 
socket (way used by xm in xen-3.0)
