The API

The policy server is split up into endpoints named for their Pacifica project that utilizes them. So the path /uploader is used by the Pacifica Uploader (http://github.com/pacifica/pacifica-uploader) to control its behavior. The idea is that workflow implemented by the various Pacifica projects has some element of site or instance specific policy that can be applied to the running service. The policy is driven by the metadata and thus this project should talk to the metadata service.
