Results file collection

There needs a way to collect result files from a Host
which took the role of master.
A user submits a job using Controller but computed
results are available on Hosts. Usually, the Host which
took the role of master writes the results to stdout or
local files and then the results are not available to
PC running the Controller. The job submitter has to
peek into local disk of one of PC running Host.
There are some ways to implement such a feature and one
of promising way uses HTTP as the file transport
protocol. Hosts can easily serve a HTTP server using
Jetty and Controller can provides a HTML browser as a
Swing component or an external application.
