+"""Power backend for the Minuteman RPM1521 networked power controller.
+
+The RPM1521 is controlled via an HTTP CGI endpoint using HTTP basic auth::
+
+    curl --user user:pwd \\
+        "http://192.168.1.100/nagios_powerctrl.csp?slave_id=1&port=<PORT>&ctrl_kind=<KIND>"
+
+where ``ctrl_kind=1`` turns the outlet on and ``ctrl_kind=2`` turns it off.
+
+The outlet state is read back from a separate status CGI::
+
+    curl --user user:pwd "http://192.168.1.100/nagios_power_status.csp"
+
+which returns a list whose second to last element holds the on/off state of each
+outlet (0 = off, 1 = on).
