Feature request : changing contest configuration through administrative API

[minhducsun2002]

It should be possible to extend the duration of the contest, or even change its name, while the server is running without a full restart.

Considering about the effect, how would the GUI update ? One possible way is to wait for the implementation of WebSocket system, but that still cannot guarantee the consistency.

Yes, I am thinking about that method.

but that still cannot guarantee the consistency

In case of bad connection, the GUI will still prevent the contest from continuing. However, once the WS connection is functional again, it will attempt to load missed events. It means that there must be a log of messages on the server for that purpose.
