dovecot - Aug 2018 - Is the Doveadm HTTP API considered stable for production use?

Hi,

I'm running 2.2.34 in production (installed from Debian stretch
backports) and want to rework some scripts. Can the HTTP API be
considered stable in 2.2.34 please? The wiki says it is "considered
experimental in v2.2.22" so I thought I'd check before writing API
calls
rather than a wrapper around doveadm!

If you don?t want to use the HTTP API, you can use the raw doveadm protocol.

Thanks, I didn't know about that. I suppose testing the HTTP API and
then switching to the raw doveadm protocol over TCP if it turns out
"crashy" wouldn't mean too much work.

I use it in 2.3 and it works just fine :)

I might have used it in 2.2 as well, I'm not 100% sure though.

I think it can be now considered stable. We even have couple of environments
where it's actively used in production.
