REST API - correct procedure

now i’m guessing this is a timing thing somewhere as sometimes this works completely fine. other times either sync1 or sync2 rest interface will stop responding indefinitely however the web interface will still load just everything stays in “unknown” state.

Sounds like a bug. If you can reproduce it, hit the “innermost” Syncthing process with a SIGQUIT to produce a full stack trace that we can use to diagnose it. That process has the higher PID of two. That is:

$ ps aux | grep syncthing
# get either one PID, or two. If two, take the highest
$ kill -QUIT $pidOfSyncthing

Then post the backtrace somewhere
