Hi Karl,
To answer your questions:
1. The http GET interface is a valid way to control SIP. You should also be able to change variables from a plugin.
See the gv_reference.txt file in the SIP folder for a list with descriptions of SIP's variables.
2. A password is only required if password in enabled on the Options page. SIP's password feature provides very minimal security and can be left disabled without a problem. It is only useful for keeping e.g. children from accessing the system. If password in enabled you would need to provide it as plain text in the GET command.
3. The GET command for stopping a program would be /cv?rsn=1 It has the effect of clicking the "stop all stations" button on the home page in auto mode but works in manual mode also. It can be found under "Change controller values"
Thanks for reporting the exception. I pushed a fix for the error you reported to GitHub.
Good luck with your project.
Dan
